Abstract :
This article attempts to specify the status of rational religion described in Kant’s work, Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason. By analyzing the main points of Kant’s thoughts on radical evil, christology, ecclesiology and cult, this article shows how two lines of thinking constantly cross each other: one line is directly inherited from a rationalist criticism of religion, the other uses elements that are situated outside of a pure rational religion. Therefore, if Kant’s Religion can be defined as faithful to its time, it can also be seen that it develops an original perspective.
