This study examines the extent to which Kant's ideas about history rely upon elements of Christian eschatology and the problems this creates. After a methodical review of the Lo?with- Blumenberg debate, it goes on to interpret some of Kant's texts that have been rarely considered in depth. The author puts these texts in a broader historical context, and thereby critically questions thinking about history in the modern age and the present.
