Kant\u2019s defence of religion and attempts to reconcile faith with reason position him as a moderate Enlightenment thinker in existing scholarship. Challenging this view and reconceptualising Kant\u2019s religion along rationalist lines, Anna Tomaszewska sheds light on its affinities with the ideas of the radical Enlightenment, originating in the work of Baruch Spinoza and understood as a critique of divine revelation. \nDistinguishing the epistemological, ethical and political aspects of such a critique, Tomaszewska shows how Kant\u2019s defence of religion consists of rationalizing its core tenets and establishing morality as the essence of religious faith. She aligns him with other early modern rationalists and German Spinozists and reveals the significance for contemporary political philosophy.\n\nKant\u2019s Rational Religion and the Radical Enlightenment\nFrom Spinoza to Contemporary Debates\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK deli;
