Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason (German: Die Religion innerhalb der Grenzen der bloßen Vernunft) is a 1793 book by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. Although its purpose and original intent has become a matter of some dispute, the book's immense and lasting influence on the history of theology and the philosophy of religion is indisputable.
He strongly criticises ritual, superstition and a church hierarchy in this work. He also discusses issues and topics central to his religious and moral philosophy including the relationships between rationality, ethics, and religion.
