In Defense of Kant's Religion (Indiana Series in the Philosophy of Religion): Chris L. Firestone, Nathan Jacobs

Description

Chris L. Firestone and Nathan Jacobs integrate and interpret the work of leading Kant scholars to come to a new and deeper understanding of Kant's difficult book, Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason. In this text, Kant's vocabulary and language are especially tortured and convoluted. Readers have often lost sight of the thinker's deep ties to Christianity and questioned the viability of the work as serious philosophy of religion. Firestone and Jacobs provide strong and cogent grounds for taking Kant's religion seriously and defend him against the charges of incoherence. In their reading, Christian essentials are incorporated into the confines of reason, and they argue that Kant establishes a rational religious faith in accord with religious conviction as it is elaborated in his mature philosophy. For readers at all levels, this book articulates a way to ground religion and theology in a fully fledged defense of Religion which is linked to the larger corpus of Kant's philosophical enterprise.

Review:
I am proud to announce that this book has been nominated for the American Philosophical Association 2009 Book Prize. If you want a comprehensive and scholarly analysis and defense of Kant's classic text "Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason," then this book is for you. Also, look for a book symposium session on "In Defense of Kant's Religion" at the American Academy of Religion Annual Conference in Montreal, CA in November 2009. There will be three papers on the book by well-known scholars as well as a response from the authors. Nathan Jacobs and I will both attend and we hope to see you there. Enjoy the book!
