It offers a detailed commentary on Kant's seminal work, Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone, as well as an original development of the logic of three of Kant's basic ideas: ambivalence, ignorance, and hope. Sophisticated analytic techniques, including symbolic logic, are applied to this conceptual matrix. The result is a striking case for the transformation of world society into a Kingdom of Ends of individuals and a peaceful League of Nations.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="504" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Includes bibliographical references and index.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Description based on print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Religion</subfield><subfield code="x">Philosophy.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="630" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Philosophy and religion.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Kant, Immanuel,</subfield><subfield code="d">1724-1804.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Axinn, Sidney</subfield><subfield code="t">The Logic of Hope: Extensions of Kant's View of Religion</subfield><subfield code="d">Boston : BRILL,c1994</subfield><subfield code="z">9789051836936</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Value Inquiry Book Series ;</subfield><subfield code="v">15.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="ADM" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="b">2023-02-28 12:23:11 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="d">00</subfield><subfield code="f">System</subfield><subfield code="c">marc21</subfield><subfield code="a">2022-04-23 08:25:23 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="g">false</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="AVE" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">Brill</subfield><subfield code="P">EBA Brill All</subfield><subfield code="x">https://eu02.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/43ACC_OEAW/openurl?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&portfolio_pid=5343588230004498&Force_direct=true</subfield><subfield code="Z">5343588230004498</subfield><subfield code="b">Available</subfield><subfield code="8">5343588230004498</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
