Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we try to deal with the most important concepts and themes of Kant’s philosophy of religion, with particular reference to the work Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason. In doing so, we start from the indicated work, incidentally comparing it with Kant’s statements from the Critique of Practical Reason. In this, the concepts of morality, religion and ethical community come to the fore, which should slowly translate the usual “religious faith” into a “purely moral and rational faith”. In the second chapter, we deal with pietistic moments in Immanuel Kant’s Philosophy of Religion, and we try to find out how much influence this post-reformation movement had on his philosophy. In the third chapter, we try to get a more complete insight into Kant’s philosophy of religion, passing briefly through the essential ideas and sources of his pre-critical and critical period. With this paper, we finally try to show that Immanuel Kant apparently did not always manage to be coherent enough in his philosophical reflections, but that in this way he left behind a fruitful, open and permanently inspiring philosophical heritage.
