Des premiers écrits des années 1750 aux ultimes liasses de l’Opus postumum, Kant demeurait préoccupé par la question de Dieu.

Dieses Buch fragt demnach nach dem anthropologischen Subtext der drei ersten Fragen, also: Was erfahren wir über die vierte Frage, wenn Kant sich der Wissens-, Sollens- und Hoffe...
