Resumen de la conferencia:
In the Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason, the dynamics of progressive absorption of ecclesiastical faith into the religion of reason is remarkably similar to Kant’s description of moral progress in his essays on history. The unfolding of a rational/moral predisposition that we see displayed in the development of social institutions also shapes and elevates the empirical content of faith into the universal and necessary patterns of rational religion. As in the writings on history, we also find here a rich tension between moral revolution and institutional reform, rupture and continuity. I will analyze the model underlying both contexts, with an eye to detect whether in fact religion has an ineliminable role to play in the moral education of the humankind or is a mere vehicle, a transitional gender that will be ultimately absorbed in pure morality.
