Between Need and Permission

Zöller, Günter (2023): Between Need and Permission. In: Mihaylova, Katerina und Ezekiel, Anna (Hrsg.): Hope and the Kantian Legacy: New Contributions to the History of Optimism. Bloomsbury Studies in Modern German Philosophy, New York: Bloomsbury Publishing. S. 25-34

Abstract

The contribution considers the systematic relationship between faith and reason in Kant’s grounding and limiting of moral faith in the Canon of Pure Reason in the Critique of Pure Reason. The first section addresses the interrelationship between Kant’s critique of knowledge and his critique of faith. The second section defines the complex interplay of theoretical and practical issues in Kant’s critical question of what a morally acting agent may hope for regarding the overall outcome of his actions. The third section investigates Kant’s positioning of faith in relation to the epistemic modi of opining and knowing, and defines the specific status of moral faith in Kant. The textually based systematic analyses focus on the complementary relationship in Kant’s work between the way rational critique limits theoretical knowledge in favor of moral faith and the way this critique limits religious faith through moral consciousness.
