Description:Applying the new perspectival method of interpreting Kant he expounded in earlier works, Palmquist examine a broad range of Kant's philosophical writings to present a fresh view of his thought on theology, religion, and religious experience. He defends a number of innovative theses, including how: religious and theological themes form the backbone of Kant’s mature philosophical System, to the extent that his philosophy can be called “theocentric”; Kant’s treatment of organized religion provides the basis for a living and richly symbolic form of religious practice that is thoroughly compatible with the core teachings of Christianity; Kant’s Copernican Perspective on metaphysics arose in part out of and is directly parallel to his response to Swedenborg’s mystical “dreams”; and the claimsof mystics and others to have “experiences of God” are philosophically justifiable provided they are viewed solely from the “judicial” standpoint (i.e., the standpoint of the third Critique). Through its detailed examination of Kant’s writings and the volumous secondary literature, this book effects a fundamental paradigm shift in Kant-studies. No longer can Kant be portrayed as a cynical destroyer of religion in general and Christianity in particular; instead, he can now take his rightful place as a sympathetic reformer, rivalling even Luther in his influence on contemporary Christian thought and practice—both Protestant and Catholic.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
