Religion and Morality: God in Kant's practical philosophy
Bizubová, Barbora ; Kouba, Pavel (advisor) ; Karásek, Jindřich (referee)
I follow two basic lines in the inquired works: I find out, first, how Kant operates with the concept of God and how can this concept be understood in context of his philosophy as a whole. Second, as a consequence of it I consider the relation between human morality (or categorical imperative) and faith (religion). The postulate of the existence of God that Kant puts forward in the Critique of Practical Reason gives rise to the question: How can the idea of God be compatible with the autonomous morality, which is in fact the main pillar of Kant's ethics (formulated in the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Moral)? The Religon within the limits of reason alone answers some of the basic questions considering the concept of God and religous belief. Thanks to these answers it can be shown how the autonomy of the will is compatible with the religion. Key words Human morality, philosophy of religion, God, the categorical imperative, the highest Good
