The Imitation of God: Anthropomorphism, Theology and the Moral Idea in Kant's Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone.
Immanuel Kant, in his Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone, observes that "we create a God for ourselves". This essay will argue that, in this passage as in Religion as a whole, Kant is attempting to find a justification for religious thought and moral behaviour, not in revelation, but in reason. Reinforced by reason, a universal human morality may therefore be agreed upon which is not bound by the limits of culture or individual religious theology. 6 pgs. 14 f/c. 1b.
