Four of the Nobel Peace Prizewinning authors most influential, insightful, and inspiring works on theology and ethics in the modern world.
Famous for founding the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in what is now the West African country of Gabon, Albert Schweitzers ethical philosophy of Reverence for Life became one of the most influential ideas of the twentieth century. These four volumes chart the development of Schweitzers philosophy from his student days to his career as a globally revered intellectual.
The Essence of Faith: While studying for his PhD at the Sorbonne, Schweitzer developed his views on theology through an analysis of Immanuel Kants philosophy of religion. In The Essence of Faith, Schweitzer explores Kantian ideas to arrive at an inspiring meditation on God, faith, and the limits of human understanding.
Pilgrimage to Humanity: In Pilgrimage to Humanity, Schweitzer discusses his philosophy, his ministry in Africa, and his pursuit of world peace. He also explores the important contributions to civilization made by figures such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, J. S. Bach, and Jesus of Nazareth.
The Quest of the Historical Jesus: In this landmark work of Biblical criticism, Schweitzer deconstructs the traditional myths of Jesuss life by offering rigorous textual analysis and historical evidence. By establishing the social and political climate of Jesuss time, Schweitzer not only dismantles the previously dominant images of Jesus, but also presents a compelling new theory of his own.
TheLight Within Us: In The Light Within Us, Schweitzers longtime friend Richard Kik has compiled many of his most insightful and inspiring quotations. Drawn from his many writings, these quotations share Schweitzers thoughts on service, gratitude, God, missionary work, and much more.

The Sketch of a Philosophy of Religion in the Critique of Pure Reason T HE - photo 15

The Sketch of a Philosophy of Religion in the Critique of Pure Reason

T HE DESIGNATION of sketch of a philosophy of religion for that section of the Critique of Reason in which moral and religious interests are detectable in Kants thinking is justified by the kind of presentation Kant makes. On pp. 605 ff. of the canon of pure reason there is, indeed, a somewhat sketchy presentation of the thoughts which appear in a purely side-by-side arrangement, without exhibiting the unity of the Critique of Pure Reason. The concept of the postulate, the definition of religion, the comprehensive justification of the autonomy of the moral law, and the related and deeply probing treatment of the problem of freedom have not been attained here. The whole section merely forms the conclusion of the critical investigation concerning the limits of human knowledge; it treats the practical use of pure reason, in distinction from the speculative use. Nevertheless, it is just by virtue of this close connection with the investigations of critical idealism that this sketch of a philosophy of religion becomes valuable for the portrayal of the philosophy of religion in critical idealism.

The section of the Critique of Pure Reason dealing with the philosophy of religion offers, though perhaps only in outlines, the most consistent presentation of Kants philosophy of religion in so far as it is the philosophy of religion of critical idealism. Is it, then, correct to say that the development of the thought in this sketch of a philosophy of religion corresponds to the projected philosophy of religion of critical idealism as announced in the investigations of the Critique of Pure Reason? Is the outline of the sketch of a philosophy of religion identical with the outlines of a philosophy of religion in the transcendental dialectic in so far as the latter intends to lay the groundwork for a sketch of a philosophy of religion?

The practical use of reason leads us into the realm of morals and religion. Critical idealism furnishes the matter for the transcendental hypotheses which demonstrate the possibility of the ideas of reason. Thus, in the interrelationship of transcendental hypotheses with the assumptions of reason for practical purposes, there lies, at the same time, the relation of critical idealism to the philosophy of religion which is based on it. The ideas which are realized in the practical realm are prepared for this task by the instrumentality of critical idealism. They have moved into a sort of position of equilibrium, from which reason, employed practically, then pulls them toward its own realm. This relationship is also expressed in Kants terminology; he speaks, in this connection, of a theoretical (speculative) and a practical use of pure reason, yet does not distinguishas he does later in the Critique of Practical Reason between the two. This terminological distinction is grounded in a difference in thinking.
