About this title: 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 ...

"I read this after the Prolegomena but before the three Critiques. It is probably best read after reading at least the first two Critiques.
Kant was of pietist parentage and took it seriously enough not to attend public services in keeping with the injunction to pray in one's closet. Well, come on, this is Kant we're considering here! Jesus' injunction isn't the reason Kant didn't go to church, Kant's agreement with the reason Jesus gave such advice is the reason. --and such is the nature of this book.
If you are not a Christian, but have familiarity with the scriptures, then Kant may make you reconsider.
Rather than go into a lecture on the subject of Kant's ethical religion, see my article on the subject posted herein."
"This nail-biter has it all: chic prose, diabolical beings, and dirty pictures (they're near the end). You will never look at mere reason the same again."
"The note I jotted on the inside cover reads, "Religion is a matter of purity of the heart." That's not much to say for such a dense book, but I'm sure it counts for something."
