Abstract

Abstract : This article concludes a six‐part series correlating Immanuel Kant's architectonic with a special, "compound" arrangement of the Yijing 's 64 hexagrams ( gua ) that incorporates the logical form of Kant's table of categories. After summarizing the previous essays, I relate 12 gua to Kant's views on the theology faculty: (1) rational theology distinguishes four ways of conceiving God, corresponding to gua 30, 62, 56, and 55; (2) Kant's four basic requirements for a "true church" correlate with gua 13, 31, 33, and 49; and (3) Kant's distinction between four practical (moral) attributes of God's nature corresponds to gua 14, 32, 34, and 50.
