The Proof of the Existence of God

Immanuel Kant is the greatest philosopher of Western Europe, one of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment, the founder of German classical philosophy, the creator of critical idealism, who made a decisive contribution to the development of the European philosophical... tradition. Everyone remembers Woland's words about Kant's proof of the existence of God: "But here is the curiosity: he completely destroyed all five proofs, and then, as if mocking himself, constructed his own sixth proof!" It is precisely this proof that is presented in the treatise "The Only Possible Basis for the Proof of the Existence of God." The collection also includes the work "Religion Within the Bounds of Mere Reason." From Kant's perspective, God is the highest being, a moral and ethical postulate, and religion is the recognition and fulfillment by man of moral duties as divine commandments.
