Popis: Despite his outright rejection of grace as commonly understood in historical religion, Kant accords a prominent role to grace within his own “natural religion”. His vindication of grace rests on a practical, strictly rational argument based on two premises: man’s “natural inability” to meet the requirements of virtue and the uncompromising authority of moral law. In spelling out this argument, this paper shows that Kant’s theory of grace belongs rightfully in his doctrine of the postulates of practical reason. It also highlights common misconceptions of Kant’s view, specifies the different functions of grace distinguished by Kant, and explains the nature of grace as a mystery.
