"Kant's defence of religion and attempts to reconcile faith with reason position him
as a moderate Enlightenment thinker in existing scholarship. Challenging this view
and reconceptualising Kant's religion along rationalist lines, Anna Tomaszewska sheds
light on its affinities with the ideas of the radical Enlightenment, originating in
the work of Baruch Spinoza and understood as a critique of divine revelation. Distinguishing
the epistemological, ethical and political aspects of such a critique, Tomaszewska
shows how Kant's defence of religion consists of rationalizing its core tenets and
establishing morality as the essence of religious faith. She aligns him with other
17th-century rationalists and German Spinozists and reveals the significance for contemporary
political philosophy. Arguing that by prioritizing freedom of thought, and hence religious
criticism, over an unqualified freedom of belief, Kant's theology approximates the
secularising tendency of the radical Enlightenment. Here is an understanding of how
the shift towards a secular outlook in Western culture was shaped by attempts to rationalize
rather than uproot Christianity."
