Question: Who thinks Kant was a closet Christian!?
Even though his ethics reject all religious (as well as belief's) contingencies his categorical imperative "For all rational beings stand under the law that each of them is to treat himself and all others never merely as means but always at the same time as ends in themselves" sounds an awful lot like Christian morality's Golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!."

I believe Nietzsche criticised him for being a "fox" for coming out and then slowing slinking back into theism!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
