The Concept of Unbelief: As Expounded in Kant and Fichte

The Concept of Unbelief is examined according to the ethical teachings of Immanuel Kant. Kant’s notion of the ‘idea of God’ (as a moral postulate) is used as a foil to the agnostic position to further clarify Kant’s concept of unbelief. This stance by Kant is contrasted with the concept of unbelief in Johann Fichte’s “Attempt at a Critique of All Revelation.”
