Résumé

This reading of Kant's religious thought suggests that he is in fact more accurately read as a precursor to 19th-century atheism than to liberal Protestant theology. The book also includes an extended examination of Kant's own moral proof of the existence of God.

Kant and the Problem of God Résumé

Kant and the Problem of God Gordon E. Michalson, Jr. (New College of the University of South Florida)

Immanuel Kant is often referred to as the 'philosopher of Protestantism' because he provides a model for mediating successfully between a modern scientific world view and theism. This radical new reading of Kant's religious thought suggests that he is in fact more accurately read as a precursor to nineteenth-century atheism than to liberal Protestant theology.

Kant and the Problem of God Avis

This is a book of which its author can be proud. It has a very provocative thesis, is excellently and clearly argued, and should stimulate a good deal of discussion. Van A. Harvey, Professor Emeritus of Religion, Stanford University

Michalson argues that Kants writings on morality and religion increasingly portray the idea of God as adjunct to human morality, and not as something beyond the human. The use of Kants work s a foundation for a mediating theology is based, the author shows, on a fundamental misreading of Kant. The Thesis is clearly stated, is strongly supported by documentation and textual interpretation, and its implications for contemporary religious thought are sketched. This is an excellent book. Wayne Proudfoot, Professor of Religion, Columbia University
