Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason is a key element of the system of philosophy which Kant introduced with his Critique of Pure Reason, and a work of major importance in the history of Western religious thought. It represents a great philosopher's attempt to spell out the form and content of a type of religion that would be grounded in moral reason and would meet the needs of ethical life. It includes sharply critical and boldly constructive discussions on topics not often treated by philosophers, including such traditional theological concepts as original sin and the salvation or 'justification' of a sinner, and the idea of the proper role of a church. This volume presents it and three short essays that illuminate it in new translations by Allen Wood and George di Giovanni, with an introduction by Robert Merrihew Adams that locates it in its historical and philosophical context.

Kant's "Religion within the Limits of Mere Reason" is one of his most accessible works due to its simplicity and basic lexicon. Here he writes about "the relationship of religion to human nature". Kant strove to fix both the Natural science and Theology by keeping them both in their respective dialectal parameters. Living through the heart of the Enlightenment, Kant observed the Epistemological problems brought about by One-World Newtonian Mechanical Reductionism, and the bad counter-reactions that Protestant apologists made. Like Hegel, Kant wants to restore faith as the "guardian of the speculative mysteries". In this text, Kant distinguishes between historical or revealed religion, which depends on tradition, ritual, and institutional structures, and pure rational religion. He defines the latter as an internal moral disposition aligned with the idea of a moral lawgiver. Kant interprets Jesus as a symbolic representation of moral perfection rather than a supernatural being. He also interprets the concept of radical evil as the innate human tendency to prioritize self-interest over duty. According to Kant, this condition must be overcome through moral self-reform rather than divine grace. Throughout the four books, Kant argues that true religion stems from cultivating moral character, and that churches are justifiable only if they serve that purpose. This work challenges theological orthodoxy while preserving the ethical core of religious life. It casts faith as an outgrowth of autonomous moral reasoning rather than submission to external authority. This work introduced Kant's controversial doctrine of "radical evil," arguing that human beings possess an innate propensity to subordinate the moral law to self-love, a corruption that is woven into human nature yet remains freely chosen and thus imputable. The book's four parts examined the radical evil inherent in human nature, the battle between good and evil principles for dominion over humanity, the victory of good over evil through founding a Kingdom of God on earth, and the distinction between true service to God through moral action versus false ritualistic observance. Kant positioned himself against Enlightenment optimism and sided with an Augustinian view of human corruption, claiming that while humans possess a natural predisposition to good consisting of animality, humanity, and personality, they also harbor a radical propensity to evil that corrupts the very ground of all maxims, making it inextirpable by human powers alone yet possible to overcome through a revolutionary change in moral disposition. The work embroiled Kant in censorship conflicts when the second part was rejected by King Friedrich Wilhelm II's censor as too theological, leading Kant to arrange publication as a complete book through the Theology Faculty at Jena, an act of insubordination that resulted in a royal order forbidding him to publish or speak publicly about religion until the king's death in 1797. Kant strongly criticized ritual, superstition, and church hierarchy while arguing that Christianity should be understood as a rational religion focused on morality rather than dogmatic belief, reducing true religion to ethics grounded in the categorical imperative and positing that moral law inevitably leads to religion through practical reason's need to envision an ethical commonwealth where adherence to moral duty signifies true devotion to God.
