单纯理性限度内的宗教

在印度斯坦[1]的一些地区，世界的审判者和毁灭者卢陀罗（Ruttren，通常也称做Siba或者Siwen，即湿婆）[2]，在世界的维持者毗湿奴（Wischnu）对自己从世界的创造者梵天（Brama）那里接受的职责感到厌倦，自若干个世纪以来就放弃了这一职责之后，已经被当做现今的统治之神受到崇拜。[3]

此段应该是描述印度神话里设定的场景。[1]印度斯坦即印度，剑桥英译版译作India，斯坦有地区之意。[2]湿婆，梵语罗马字可能是Siva。英译卢陀罗Rutra，湿婆Shiva，Shiwa，毗湿奴Vishnu，梵天Brahma。[3]此大段末尾的英译编者注9：According to Bohatec, Kant drew his information from Johann Ith, Ubersetzung und Kommentar über den Ezour-Vedam, oder die Geschichte, Religion und Philosophie der Indier (Translation and Commentary of the Ezour-Vedam, or the History, Religion and Philosophy of the Indians; Bern, no date) pp. 10 ff., and from Pierre Sonnerat (French natural scientist and explorer, 1749-1814), Reise nach Ostindien und China auf Befehl des Königs unternommen (Voyage to East-India and China, Undertaken at the King's Request; 2 vols; Zürich, 1783), 1, pp. 166, 249, both of which he had read. Cf. Bohatec, pp. 166-7, AK 8:505. The whole imagery of this passage, however, is drawn from the Christian apocalyptic writers, notably Bengel, with whose work, Ordo temporum (The Order of Time; Tiibingen, 1741), Kant was acquainted. Cf. The Conflict of the Faculties, AK 7:62, 80-81. J. A. Bengel (1687-1752) was a mystical theologian who predicted the end of the world for 1836.

2013.11.1开始通读今晚读了中译者注，非常欣赏康德的道德理想的伦理共同体。

（而不是说文明化）

英译（not just the growth in civilazation）->不止是文明的增长

如果本性这一术语（像通常那样）意味着，出自自由的行动的根据的对立面，那么，它就会与道德上的善或者恶这两个谓词是截然对立的。为了使人不致马上对这一术语有反感，就必须说明，这里把人的本性仅仅理解为（遵从客观的道德法则）一般地运用自己自由的主观根据，它先行于一切可觉察到的行为，而不论这个主观的根据存在于什么地方。

如此便区分了“通常”对本性的理解和“遵从客观的道德法则”的本性这一术语之间的区别。英文译本更拗口一点：But lest anyone be immediately scandalized by the expression nature, 6:21 which would stand in direct contradiction to the predicates morally good or morally evil if taken to mean (as it usually does) the opposite of the ground of actions [arising] from freedom, let it be noted that by "the nature of a human being" we only understand here the subjective ground - wherever it may lie - of the exercise of the human being's freedom in general (under objective moral laws) antecedent to every deed that falls within the scope of the senses.
