Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason Symbols, Allegory and Motifs

Reason

Kant declares, “I will show that it was in fact only reason - not any alleged private sense of truth, not any transcendent intuition under the name of faith, on which tradition and revelation can be grafted without reason’s consent.” Kant conjectures that people should be satisfactorily oriented with reasoning which enables healthy cognition. Reasoning ought to be characteristic in all humans.

Feeling

Kant expounds, “I also need the feeling of a difference in my own subject, namely, the difference between my right and left hands. I call this a feeling because the two sides outwardly display no designable difference in intuition.” Feelings are contributory during deliberation. Through the discernment of feelings, an individual extricates objects subject to the mind-sets which are ascribed to them.

'Son of God'

Kant writes, “the Son of God-bears as vicarious substitute the debt of sin for him, and also for all who believe (practically) in him: a savior, he satisfies the highest justice through suffering and death, and as advocate, he makes it possible for them to hope that they will appear justified before their judge.” The allegorical son is influential in emancipating humanity and acting as their attorney before God who is the ultimate judge. Trusting in the son is a prerequisite for all humanity who aspire to impress God.
