Kates Playgrounds Pregnant

real pressure.

Sí, todos querían que alguien les creyera.

Our late Pope John Paul II, recited the following:

faith and reason "help each other", and the richness of the encounter of philosophy and theology for progress of humanity in a common reflection on the most urgent problems facing humanity today [ecology, peace or coexistence of different cultures], we see that the possible solution of these depends on a clear and honest collaboration between all faithful Christians other religions and even those who do not share a religious belief, but seek the renewal of humanity ...

can be observed that in the course of our late Pope, and is not listed everything as they recited the Bible when it was written, but now introduced to the philosophy and science issues ; .

As you know, one of the great things our dear philosopher wrote was nothing more and nothing less than religion and reason. ( Religion within the limits of reason, the end of 1973)
We may ask, what is God to Kant? What is religion to Kant? and what relationship they have, religion and reason, two concepts as far apart at first sight?

First, for Kant, the concept of God is possible if it does not contradict the laws of understanding, based on morality. Thus, according to our philosopher, the concept of God is possible to generate the religion in humans, but can not be the best in Theology. On the other hand, we have the concept of religion, it is not only the application of theology to practical life. And also, the Christian religion is, according to Kant, natural religion as a moral (related to the subject's freedom) linked to an ultimate (God as the moral author of the world) related to the duration of man according to that order (immortality) that "men can and must arrive by pure practical reason. "
But what was it that prevented publication of these writings Kant before? Did anyone against their beliefs? Are you pressured not to publish these writings, and thus able to defend the Church and traditional religion, with no one to disturb?

This all goes back to the eighteenth century, where there was Frederick William II, which prevented the dissemination of ideas illustrated by the law Edict of censorship for the Prussian States defend doctrines preventing deists in the classroom or academies, which Kant himself suffered. Also, this is the century of absolutism, kings are omnipotent, with the exception of the British parliamentary monarchy. The people not actively involved in social discussions, is the desire for peace that we all had, had some illustrated as Kant to make proposals to achieve it.
We can therefore conclude that Kant tuvo diversos problemas desde la realeza, cuyos propósitos querían evitar la publicación de las obras de nuestro filósofo relacionadas con la religión del momento.
Pero éste no se quedó parado, ¿qué hizo Kant? Según su intención, más tarde presentó a la facultad teológica el trabajo completo (todas las partes de la obra), para que allí decidieran si de verdad el tema era teológico, o más bien filosófico. De este modo, Kant podría evitar la censura del rey, ya que estas obras filosóficas podían pasar ya a las universidades. Lo único que Kant quería era publicarlas en cuanto profesor. Más tarde, la facultad de teología Königsberg recognized the work of Kant as a philosophical work, and led to its publication.

Kant, however, continued to defend freedom of expression, and the impossibility of imposing outside Christianity to anyone.

An obvious example, Kant and totally related to prohibitions of publication of works is, nothing more and nothing less than Galileo Galilei. This however, does not remade his works, but is faced with the Church. Galilei
caused a major stir in history of human thought, it represented a group of scientists who were searching for universal truths that could be scientifically verified through new methods. For the first time questioned the absolute authority of God, and the structures and workings of the universe. Through scientific knowledge, human beings approached hitherto hidden truths.

The Church
this seemed unacceptable. The contributions of Galileo, which extended to research on the nature of comets, the existence of atoms in the art and inventions and discoveries in the sciences (telescope, pendulum clock, etc), led to consider too "dangerous" for the system beliefs that then dominated. There was, to keep order of knowledge, an organ called the Holy Inquisition. Through it regulate, investigate and punish those guilty of heresy. Thus, a heretic who was jeopardizing the truth imposed by the laws of God.
Two personalities in history as far apart temporarily, but such relationships. The two struggled to offer the world their conclusions on studies. The two had to fight against laws they opposed further their purposes. And they both got what they deserved success by opening their eyes to the Cloths, with the only thing they could do: evolve.
Perhaps Kant wrote Religion within the limits of reason , which addresses some issues that deal with the Christian religion, and later became important in his philosophical career, thanks to it was rewritten because of pressure from the royalty, legal pressure. Galileo was able to offer their findings, however, they shatter what was offered to the Church.

~ Two people capable of removing the world the band that prevents them from seeing clearly, but two different endings, one, to which the Church finally accepted, and another, which the Church has always rejected.

When will accept both the Church and humanity, the continuous discovery and progress, both moral and scientific?


~ The Kingdom of God is not advertised by the beauty of the visible church but gets slowly transforming mere faith in the church to become a faith purely rational, religious faith moral.
