Abstract


Since the ontological argument for the existence of God was first developed by Anselmus,the problem of philosophical arguments offered to justify belief in the reality of God had been brought into our thinking about the philosophy of religion and soon became its theoretical basis and core.Based on his standpoint of completely empiricism,Hume took a skeptical attitude and challenged to the rational basis of religion.Impelled by Hume’s practice,Kant gives a more deeply thinking on the basis of religion.It is just developed closely around the problem of philosophical arguments for God’s existence.Kant’s concern has two aspects.On the one hand,he criticizes traditional theistic proofs including the ontological argument,the cosmological argument and the physico-theological argument in order to clear away the traditional knowledge basis of religion.But on the other hand,Kant reconstructs his moral argument and builds the new morality basis of religion.All these unfolds that the essence of Kant’s philosophy of religion is to change the basis of religion from knowledge to morality.In three respects of morality,humanity and freedom,the new morality basis embodies the theoretical profoundity of Kant’s philosophy of religion.On the whole,Kant’s religion thoughts insist on the direction and make a great progress of rational theology.So it also extensively and deeply influences the development of modern philosophy of religion and theology in the 19~th and 20~th century.
