Kant's moral theology is a vast and complex system, and one of the main propositions is "morality will inevitably lead to religion". The reason why morality finally leads to religion is that the power limitation of human being needs an axiom, God. Limited people can't get their expected happiness that matches their moral efforts. That is to say, morality, in reality, is not in accordance with happiness. Thus, they need to have a full knowledge, all good, almighty God to ensure the consistence. This is god's axiom. But what is God? How to deal with the relationship between man and god? What is church? And what is the relationship between reason and belief? These problems form the Kantian moral theology, the most core contents. Kant's moral theology thoughts systematically and comprehensively answer them. This thesis, through combing the three critiques in traditional moral theology, from the angle of the relationship between rationality and religion, explores the performance of the moral theology in rational religions, or draws a conclusion that the moral theology is a kind of abstract theory, and rational religion is the embodiment of the theory. In the latter case, from the angle of human nature, the thesis analyses the symbiosis of good and evil that after attacks to moral laws from the principle of evil, the pureness of the principle of good is rebuilt to reveal to reveal the original foundations of the general religions. In the rational religions, the relationship between the reason and belief is discussed, the ways of faith in moral theology and theological morality are distinguished and finally the ways of faith in rationality is speculated by virtue of the combination of the two ways above to show the moral theology thought.Preface is the analysis of Kant's moral theology at home and abroad and the research status and the institute of problems to solve.Chapter1is the overview of Kant's moral theology. This chapter combs the three contained ideas of traditional moral theology in Kant's critical philosophy, which establishes the theological thought foundation for the rational religion with an emphasis on a "vault stone" in The Critical Judgment. Chapter2is the rational analysis of the origins of human religious nature. With a rational way, from the human nature, this chapter explores the foundation upon which the general religion springs and focuses on the principles of good and evil in The Religion Within Pure Rationality.Chapter3aims at reason and faith. Through the research on the criticism of Kant's historical faith and church belief, and how they, in rational under the direction of the transition to the pure religion, present the religious beliefs of the rational rational way, to show the moral theology thought. What's more, it deals with how to reach the religious belief under the leadership of rationality and presents the manners of rational religious belief and its moral theology.Epilogue reviews the way of traditional moral irrational belief established on the basis of the moral theology, compares it with that of the moral theology, and reflects the permanent power on the pure belief in the rational religion and combines the current belief predicament to discusses the contemporary significance of Kant's moral theology.
