Anna Tomaszewska's book offers an accurate, original, compelling reassessment of Kant's thinking about religion, against the background of the radical Enlightenment and its impact on Kant's mind. This masterly account, which has mastered Kant in many ways, provides fresh food for thought on the relationship between the Enlightenment and religion.

By examining Kant's religious thought through the lens of recent debates about the Enlightenment, Tomaszewska offers valuable insight into the relationship between divine transcendence and human autonomy. Impressively grounded in the sources, the work challenges current views concerning Kant's religious thought and, more broadly, concerning the very idea of secularization.

This book offers a valiant attempt to synthesize traditional interpretations of Kant's theory of religion, as radically reductionist, and recent readings emphasizing his moderate, affirmative tendencies. Skillfully balancing various divergent interpretations of Enlightenment approaches to religion, Tomaszewska judiciously assesses how Kant's position relates to those of his forerunners, especially Spinoza.
