Denysha Taylor My initial instinct was to place Kant under the fall. We talked about his rejection of religion and his dependence on Science. I have a very scientific and logical mindset for the most part, but I think he was mistaken in placing science over religion and faith in God. However, his reasons for not trusting organized religion, such as fake service, external ritual, and corruption are quite valid. This makes me want to consider categorizing Kant with the restoration as this is consistent with the restorative movement in the churches.
Then you have Kant’s views regarding freedom and peace which makes me want to put him under redemption. I think Kant can’t really be categorized under one section of the C-F-R-R theory. His views seem to be oddly inconsistent…which in a way kind of reminds me of the creation. I think that as a human, not fully understanding why God does what he does that his approach to creation and how he decided to document it is confusing and inconsistent with what he teaches us through sciences.

I think that it is quite interesting that you put Kant under redemption. Based on what we talked about in class, that is not what I would personally classify him under. I would have to agree that he would fit well in the fall because of his views with science. I only say this because most of us look at redemption as a large section of religion, which he did not really believe in. Redemption is about knowing that we are forgiving and trusting in someone greater than ourselves. However, I did enjoy reading your post. I would have never thought to put him in redemption. I do agree that he can be put under there for some of his views.

I found your train of thought really interesting how you finished with classifying Kant under creation through means of how we sometimes view creation! I feel like we have a hard time classifying each of these categories because we view them through our own experiences. Good post though! I liked the different ways you thought about Kant

Your way of thinking about Kant is very interesting! I originally was in the same thought of mind about Kant under the fall. Your way of thinking about putting under restoration really makes me think twice about that. His ideas about people’s freedom is really what makes me question his categorization. I really like your train of thought!

I agree that Kant is very hard to categorize in one category. Each of his readings do seem very contradictory from the other, and can be interpreted in different ways. I do think that Kant placed too much emphasis on science too.

This is a very unique perspective! I’m glad you shared your reasoning why you thought he couldn’t be categorized. I do like you idea that his thoughts regarding organized religion could be categorized as restoration. There are a lot of churches these days that really turn people away from God because of all the political aspects and not making the main focus on worshiping God. The direction some of the churches in our society have been going are definitely in need of restoration.

Thank you for your perspective on Kant! It is really interesting to see that some philosophers may fit into multiple categories. I believe that Kant’s perspective on the church is what many people have felt. Many churches have given off the fake vibe and are in need of restoration.

I irks the different perspectives you shared about Kant and your reasonings behind it. I agree with Rebecca’s comment that we usually categorize different philosophers based off of our own experiences, so there really can be multiple categories for each theory and philosopher.

I liked your train of thought. I like that you had a hard time classifying him. I too had a hard time categorizing him. I think I might categorize him as a resurrection philosopher because of his categorical imperative. He attempted to rescue ethics from the utilitarian mindset- which clearly has flaws in it’s universalizability. The categorical imperative, while many do not agree with this ethical stance, did bring some objectivity and universal principles back to ethics.

PROPS! I initially wanted to write about Kant but found that he was pretty inconsistent as well. I never thought to put him in creation and you saw that like it was written in the stars. I loved that you were so raw with your thought processes in this post. You told it like it was and I really took a lot away from it.
