La identificación entre la razón práctica y la idea de Dios en el Opus Postumum de Kant

Abstract

Kant’s moral theism is a crucial piece of his thought although his Ideas of God and the immortality of the soul, as two postulates of the Practical Reason, entail different problems, such as the objectification of the Noumenon, the anthropomorphism of the concept of God and the relationship between immanence and transcendence. Kant intends to give an answer to these problematic questions in his last works where he rethinks the role of divinity. As a consequence of this fact, in the later Kantian thought there is a gradual identification between the Universal Practical Reason and the Idea of God, which is clearly defended in his Opus Postumum. This shift in his philosophy approaches the Kantian thought to the positions of some idealist authors, namely Spinoza and Fichte. My main purpose it this paper is to analyse the possible similarities between the aforementioned authors, to this end, I will compare Kant’s and Fichte’s positions with an especial interest in their texts of the atheism’s controversy.
