"There is a God but no revelation"

Kant viewed this limitless use of transcendent concepts by reason as an error, and in the "Transcendental Analytic" section of the "Critique of Pure Reason", he deduced the real world as a "phenomenon" from "pure apperception", a subjective idea similar to Descartes' "I think". On the other hand, in the "Transcendental Dialectic", he set "things in themselves" as the antecedent and performed hypothetical deduction to assert the validity of "things in themselves".

In other words, he presented a two-domain, two-methodology that was different from Thomas's two-domain, one-methodology of "deduction starting from self-evidentity" and "deduction starting from God's intellect."

Kant's methodology was understood to bring about a division between immanence and transcendence and an inability to relate to each other, and as such had a serious negative impact on Christian theology, especially from an orthodox point of view, after the 18th century. Although Kant's intended moral Christianity was rejected by the church, his philosophy has given rise to the unorthodox theology that began with Schleiermacher, that is, "there is God but there is no revelation," which continues to this day.
