The term ‘miracle’ generally refers to events that are not explicable by natural causes alone. Kant’s notion of miracles is usually understood along these lines. However, Kant’s occupation with miracles should be understood in a practical context. Belief in miracles plays a constitutive role in Kant’s philosophy of religion concerning the need to strengthen the will both before and after departing from original evil. I demonstrate how my argument sheds new light on Kant’s claim that theoretical reason precludes the possibility of material miracles.

奇迹的原因与理性中的奇迹：康德的奇迹实践观

“奇迹”一词通常是指仅由自然原因无法解释的事件。康德的奇迹概念通常按照这些思路来理解。然而，康德对奇迹的职业应该在实际的背景下理解。相信奇迹在康德的宗教哲学中起着构成性的作用，即在离开原始邪恶之前和之后都需要加强意志。我展示了我的论点如何为康德关于理论理性排除了物质奇迹的可能性的主张提供了新的启示。
