Abstract
Kant’s moral theology was a subject of intense debate in the early reception of Kant’s philosophy. At the same time, Kant’s notion of practical postulation held considerable interest for Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. What I seek to show is the systematic connection of these two facts: examination of the ways in which Kant’s postulates of pure practical reason exposed the Kantian system to criticism sheds light, I argue, on some of the fundamental moves made by the German Idealists in their transformation of Kant’s philosophy.
