This volume provides a highly needed, comprehensive analysis of
Kant's views on proofs for God's existence and explains the radical
turns of Kant's accounts. In the "Theory of Heavens" (1755), Kant
intended to harmonize the Newtonian laws of motion with a
physicotheological argument for the existence of God. But only a
few years later, in the "Ground of Proof" essay (1763), Kant
defended an ontological ('possibility' or 'modal') argument on the
basis of its logical exactitude. Nevertheless he continued to
praise the physicotheological argument. In the first "Critique"
(1781/7), Kant replaced the traditional constitutive proofs with
regulative theoretical and practical arguments. He continued to
defend a moral argument in the second "Critique" (1788). But in the
third "Critique" (1790), Kant reintroduced a physicotheological
besides an ethicotheological argument in order to unify the
critical system of philosophy. Kant developed further moral
arguments in the "Theodicy" essay (1791) and the "Religion"
(1793/4), and still continued to discuss proofs for God's existence
in the "OP" (1796–1804). This volume speaks to Kant specialists
in the fields of philosophy and theology, but can be used also as
an introduction for non-academic readers.
