KANT AND THE MORAL GOD. A THEOLOGICAL READING

Summary/Abstract: Kant and the Moral God. A Theological Reading. The criticism of metaphysics and the rethinking of religion on the basis of the practical reason’s postulates is one of the paradoxes of the Kantian philosophy: Kant rejects the possibility of the theoretical knowledge of God, but at the same time he admits that the pure reason offers to the practical reason a concept of God that the practical reason is in need of. By developing this paradox, the present study offers a reading of the Kantian moral religion, trying a criticism from the Orthodox theology point of view and showing that, in his intention to overcome the idols of onto-theology, Kant builds another one, the idol of the moral God. Thus even if this new idol must be rejected in the name of the living God of the Church Tradition, the emphasis on morality still must be taken into consideration, in this post-metaphysical age where the ethics’ foundations are no more so evident.
