This paper begins with an analysis of the First Part of Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason in order to consider how Kant conceives the relation between the revolution in the mode of thought and the slow, gradual change in customs with regard to the moral improvement of individuals. It argues that, in this context, “reform” and “revolution” represent two sides of the same coin: they are two ways of assessing the same process of change from different perspectives. From the impossibility of ascertaining with certainty the revolution of a subject’s intention [Gesinnung], one draws an appreciation of the role of the development of empirical character within Kant’s moral philosophy.
