Book Synopsis Understanding Moral Obligation by : Robert Stern
Download or read book Understanding Moral Obligation written by Robert Stern and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many histories of modern ethics, Kant is supposed to have ushered in an anti-realist or constructivist turn by holding that unless we ourselves 'author' or lay down moral norms and values for ourselves, our autonomy as agents will be threatened. In this book, Robert Stern challenges the cogency of this 'argument from autonomy', and claims that Kant never subscribed to it. Rather, it is not value realism but the apparent obligatoriness of morality that really poses a challenge to our autonomy: how can this be accounted for without taking away our freedom? The debate the book focuses on therefore concerns whether this obligatoriness should be located in ourselves (Kant), in others (Hegel) or in God (Kierkegaard). Stern traces the historical dialectic that drove the development of these respective theories, and clearly and sympathetically considers their merits and disadvantages; he concludes by arguing that the choice between them remains open.
Book Synopsis Kant and Kierkegaard on Time and Eternity by : Ronald Michael Green
Download or read book Kant and Kierkegaard on Time and Eternity written by Ronald Michael Green and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on his earlier work, Kierkegaard and Kant: The Hidden Debt, Ronald Green presents Kant as a major inspiration of Kierkegaard¿s authorship. Green believes that Kant¿s ethics provided the rigor on which Kierkegaard drew in developing his concept of sin. Green argues that the chief difference between Kant and Kierkegaard has to do with whether we need a historical savior to restore our broken moral wills. Kant rejected faith in vicarious atonement as undermining moral responsibility, and he pointed to the Genesis 22 episode of Abraham¿s sacrifice of Isaac as an example of how reliance on historical reports can undermine ethics. Kierkegaard rejected Kant¿s rationalist solution to the problem of radical human evil. Kant had demolished the ontological proof by showing that whether something exists (including God) can never be logically deduced. Kierkegaard turns this great insight against Kant: whether God has forgiven our transgressions cannot be deduced from our moral need. Either God did or did not intervene on our behalf. ¿This fact.¿ says Kierkegaard, ¿is the earnestness of existence.¿ Green offers unique readings of Fear and Trembling and Either/Or in his analysis and interpretation of Kierkegaard¿s reading and response to Kant and their understanding of divine and ethics. A closing chapter focuses on love in time. In Works of Love, Kierkegaard places emotional feelings within a transcendent context. Erotic love is noble, but it must be purged of self-love and seek the fulfillment of the beloved as an independent being. Only by assuming ethical and religious meaning can romantic love fulfill its promise of eternity.
Book Synopsis Theory and Practice in Kant and Kierkegaard by : Ulrich Knappe
Download or read book Theory and Practice in Kant and Kierkegaard written by Ulrich Knappe and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work investigates crucial aspects of Kant's epistemology and ethics in relation to Kierkegaard's thinking. The challenge is taken up of developing a systematic reconstruction of Kant's and Kierkegaard's position. Kant forms a matrix for the interpretation of Kierkegaard, and considerable space is devoted to the exposition of Kant at those various points at which contact with Kierkegaard's thought is to be demonstrated. The burden of the argument is that Kierkegaard in his account of the stages is much closer to Kant than the texts initially reveal. It is possible, then, to arrive at a proper grasp of Kierkegaard's final position by seeing just how radically the stage of Christian faith (Religiousness B) departs from Kant.
Book Synopsis Kant: Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason by : Immanuel Kant
Download or read book Kant: Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason written by Immanuel Kant and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 'justification' of a sinner, and the idea of the proper role of a church. This volume presents it and three short essays that illuminate it in new translations by Allen Wood and George di Giovanni, with an introduction by Robert Merrihew Adams that locates it in its historical and philosophical context.
Download or read book A Dubious Heritage written by Louis Dupre and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, Professor Dupre reflects his singular concern with the impact of Kant's critique upon the study of religion. Dupre sees in Kant the first methodic effort to formulate and, at the same time, to overcome, the malaise from which the religious consciousness had suffered ever since art, science, philosophy, and morality had become independent of faith.Tha author sees in Kant's work the fundamental challenge which has affected all subsequent speculation about religion. He sees the challenge framed in three questions: How can we restore the theoretical support of religious faith after Kant's critique of the arguments for the existence of God? How can a method be conceived for the philosophical study of religion on the basis of experience alone? How can that experience itself be legitimated within the context of human autonomy?The works of Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard, and Hegel are studied in terms of the legitimation of religious experience. Husserl, Blondel, and Dumery are looked at in reference to the search for method. Finally, the question of justification of faith is seen in the context of the existing cosmological, teleological, moral, and ontological arguments.

Book Synopsis Kant's "Religion within the boundary of pure reason" & Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling" by : Melissa Grönebaum
Download or read book Kant's "Religion within the boundary of pure reason" & Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling" written by Melissa Grönebaum and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Philosophy - General Essays, Eras, grade: 1,7, National University of Ireland, Galway, language: English, abstract: “Religion is related problematically to morality” - a thesis which seems incredible at first view. How could the relation of morality and religion be problematic? Does the one not determine the other? Well, strictly speaking, already this question leads to the first possible point of discussion: for, which determines which? Does Religion lead to morality or does morality lead to religion? And does being religious not correlate with the meaning of to act in a good and moral way? To elaborate those questions and prove that and how religion and morality are related problematically, in this essay I will refer to Immanuel Kant and Søren Kierkegaard. Both are considered as being two religious men who start their thinking from the existing religious consciousness within the ethical and are therefore the rights philosophers to concentrate on while analysing the relationship of religion and morality.

Book Synopsis Kierkegaard on Self, Ethics, and Religion by : Roe Fremstedal
Download or read book Kierkegaard on Self, Ethics, and Religion written by Roe Fremstedal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of Søren Kierkegaard's most controversial and influential ideas are more relevant than ever to contemporary debates on ethics, philosophy of religion and selfhood. Kierkegaard develops an original argument according to which wholeheartedness requires both moral and religious commitment. In this book, Roe Fremstedal provides a compelling reconstruction of how Kierkegaard develops wholeheartedness in the context of his views on moral psychology, meta-ethics and the ethics of religious belief. He shows that Kierkegaard's influential account of despair, selfhood, ethics and religion belongs to a larger intellectual context in which German philosophers such as Kant and Fichte play crucial roles. Moreover, Fremstedal makes a solid case for the controversial claim that religion supports ethics, instead of contradicting it. His book offers a novel and comprehensive reading of Kierkegaard, drawing on important sources that are little known.
Book Synopsis The Authenticity of Faith in Kierkegaard's Philosophy by : Tamar Aylat-Yaguri
Download or read book The Authenticity of Faith in Kierkegaard's Philosophy written by Tamar Aylat-Yaguri and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he heard the voice that ordered him to sacrifice his son, was Abraham deluded? When is faith merely a form of self-deception? The existential challenge of attaining and preserving faith is as difficult today as ever before and perhaps even more so in a scientifically, technologically oriented culture. Faith can turn into inauthenticity as easily today as in Kierkegaard’s era. This book presents Kierkegaard’s illuminating responses to the existentially haunting questions of faith and authenticity.

Book Synopsis Kierkegaard and the Limits of the Ethical by : Anthony Rudd
Download or read book Kierkegaard and the Limits of the Ethical written by Anthony Rudd and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-07-24 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a discussion of some of Kierkegaard's central ideas, showing their relevance to contemporary debates in epistemology, ethics, and the philosophy of religion. Anthony Rudd's aim is not simply to expound Kierkegaard's ideas but to draw on them creatively in order to illuminate questions about the foundations of morality and the nature of personal identity, as discussed by analytical philosophers such as MacIntyre, Parfit, Williams, and Foot. Rudd seeks a way forward from the sterile conflict between the view that morality and religion are based on objective reasoning and the view that they are merely expressions of subjective emotions. He argues that morality and religion must be understood in terms of the individual's search for a sense of meaning in his or her own life, but emphasizes that this does not imply that values are arbitrary or merely subjective.
Book Synopsis Religion After Kant by : Paolo Diego Bubbio
Download or read book Religion After Kant written by Paolo Diego Bubbio and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a period of neglect, the idealist and romantic philosophies that emerged in the wake of Kant’s revolutionary writings have once more become important foci of philosophical interest, especially in relation to the question of the role of religion in human life. By developing and reinterpreting basic Kantian ideas, an array of thinkers including Schelling, Hegel, Friedrich Schlegel, Hölderlin and Novalis transformed the conceptual framework within which the nature of religion could be considered. Furthermore, in doing so they significantly shaped the philosophical perspectives from within which later thinkers such as Feuerbach, Kierkegaard, Wagner and Nietzsche could re-pose the question of religion. This volume explores the spaces opened during this extended period of post-Kantian thinking for a reconsideration of the place of religion within the project of human self-fashioning.
