Abstract

Moors identifies religious acts and representations that are allowed within the boundaries of mere (pure practical) reason. He investigates how ethics emerges in the context of properly religious representations (God, Son of God, grace, church, hope) and as religious praxis (the practice of the 'seeing as," the practice of "to accept the positive increase of force" by grace for the sake of conversion, the practice of prayer, etc.).
