Abstract
Abstract John Rawls once said that Kant’s turn to religion was a disappointment. That verdict missed some of the non-foundational parts of religion that Kant investigates in the second and third parts of Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason. This chapter looks at the contribution Kant saw religion making in managing anxieties about the sufficiency of even good moral character. Using Christianity as an example (scripture and church), Kant shows how it can be read as reconciling persons with the deep challenges of moral subjectivity. His argument suggests that the same value might also be had through the discipline of progressive collective action.
