The fourth to appear in the 14-volume Cambridge edition, this volume contains, in addition to four smaller essays, three major works by Kant on the philosophy of religion and philosophical theology: Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason (1793), The Conflict of the Faculties (1798), and Lectures on the Philosophical Doctrine of Religion (1817), the last consisting of transcriptions from one or two sets of Kant's lectures on natural theology, posthumously published by F.T. Rink. All translations are new and done by the editors, except for M. Gregor's translation of The Conflict of the Faculties, which has been revised. Although only one of the works in the volume has not been previously translated into English, this is the first English-language edition to unite Kant's writings on religion and theology in a single volume, with the additional benefit of employing consistent terminology. Following the general principles of the Cambridge Kant edition, the volume forgoes interpretive notes but provides numerous factual and explanatory notes, an informative general introduction by Allen Wood, and concise introductions to the individual works. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate; graduate; faculty. G. Zoeller; University of Iowa
