Rezensionen

"In this thorough commentary with a new translation, Palmquist argues that Kant treats religion as a distinctive experience beyond both knowledge and morality, and that his major writing on religion is the central and culminating work of his philosophical endeavor. It is an impressive and intriguing accomplishment."

-Richard Velkley, Tulane University

"Kant's Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason is arguably his most underrated great work, and there is probably no better qualified commentator on it than Palmquist."

-Wayne Pomerleau, Gonzaga University
