Preparation for Natural Theology Summary

Preparation for Natural Theology: With Kant's Notes and the Danzig Rational Theology Transcript by Courtney D. Fugate (Florida State University, USA)

Designed as a textbook for use in courses on natural theology and used by Immanuel Kant as the basis for his Lectures on The Philosophical Doctrine of Religion, Johan August Eberhard's Preparation for Natural Theology (1781) is now available in English for the first time. With a strong focus on the various intellectual debates and historically significant texts in late renaissance and early modern theology, Preparation for Natural Theology influenced the way Kant thought about practical cognition as well as moral and religious concepts. Access to Eberhard's complete text makes it possible to distinguish where in the lectures Kant is making changes to what Eberhard has written and where he is articulating his own ideas. Identifying new unexplored lines of research, this translation provides a deeper understanding of Kant's explicitly religious doctrines and his central moral writings, such as the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and the Critique of Practical Reason. Accompanied by Kant's previously untranslated handwritten notes on Eberhard's text as well as the Danzig transcripts of Kant's course on rational theology, Preparation for Natural Theology features a dual English-German / German-English glossary, a concordance and an introduction situating the book in relation to 18th-century theology and philosophy. This is a significant contribution to twenty-first century Kantian studies.

Preparation for Natural Theology Reviews

Essential reading for those interested in the development of Kant's philosophy. Fugate's and Hymers' volume provides a window into Kant's philosophy of religion ... This collection of primary sources provides previously untranslated resources for a fruitful study of Kant's religion. * Religion & Theology *
English readers with an interest in the development of Kant's philosophy, Enlightenment religious thought, or modern theology will find Preparation for Natural Theology an essential resource ... The best recommendation that can be made for Preparation for Natural Theology is that despite the high quality of the translations, explanatory footnotes, and Introduction, the reader is left wanting more. Armed with the work of Fugate and Hymers we can expect great strides in English language Kantian scholarship filling in the connections and associations laid bare by their pioneering service to the academy. * Reading Religion *
Fugate and Hymers have already provided Anglo-phone students of Kant with an invaluable resource with their richly annotated translation of Baumgarten`s Metaphysica, which was the text that Kant used for his metaphysics lectures. In this new work, which contains similarly annotated translations of Eberhard`s Preparation for Natural Theology, which was one of the texts that Kant used for his lectures on rational theology, together with Kant`s unpublished notes on this work and the Danzig transcript of these lectures, they have provided another such resource. These materials are essential for any student of Kant`s philosophical theology. And, as they explain in their informative introduction, the views of Eberhard were of particular importance to Kant, because he later became engaged in a bitter controversy with him regarding fundamental tenets of the Critique of Pure Reason. -- Henry E. Allison, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of California San Diego, USA and Boston University, USA
