Commentators who lament that Kant offers no concrete guidelines for how to set up an ethical community typically neglect Kant’s claim in Religion that the ethical state of nature can transform into an ethical community only by becoming a people of God—i.e., a religious community, or “church.” Kant’s argument culminates by positing four categorial precepts for church organization. The book’s next four sections can be read as elaborating further on each precept, respectively. Kant repeatedly warns against using religious norms to control people. Accordingly, he explicitly forbids the true church from adopting any standard form of political governance; it must aim to be radically non-political. Nevertheless, churches organized according to Kant’s non-coercive theocratic model contribute something essential to the ultimate political goal of achieving perpetual peace and an end to war: by approaching the ultimate ethical goal (the highest good), the true church offers an antidote to normative fragmentation.

In the world that seeks and promotes self-expression based on an exaggerated concept of freedom there is always the risk of a clash of interests. It happens in particular when a person formulates for himself something that he considers moral and true without reference to any objective truth. Leaning from some regrettable events in history, this article examines the relationship between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria amidst the rampant ethno-religious conflicts. It looks at some political, religious, economic factors influencing this menace. It also highlights the influence of modern culture of individualism and dissemination of information devoid of ethics. With the help of both ecclesiastical and secular documents this article offers suggestions that might lead to a sincere dialogue as means to peaceful coexistence. Responsible roles of individuals and institutions are indispensable if we want to restore human dignity that has been debased.
PL
W świecie, który szuka i promuje wyrażanie siebie oparte na przesadnej koncepcji wolności, zawsze istnieje ryzyko zderzenia interesów. Dzieje się tak, kiedy człowiek tworzy dla siebie to, co uważa za moralne i prawdziwe, bez odniesienia do jakiejkolwiek obiektywnej prawdy. Opierając się na godnych pożałowania wydarzeniach w historii, artykuł analizuje relacje między muzułmanami a chrześcijanami w Nigerii pośród szerzących się konfliktów etno-religijnych. Zwraca uwagę na niektóre czynniki polityczne, religijne i ekonomiczne wpływające na to zagrożenie. Podkreśla także wpływ współczesnej kultury indywidualizmu i rozpowszechniania informacji pozbawionych etyki. Z pomocą zarówno dokumentów kościelnych, jak i świeckich artykuł ten przedstawia sugestie, które mogą prowadzić do szczerego dialogu jako środka do pokojowego współistnienia. Niezbędna jest odpowiedzialna rola jednostek i instytucji, jeśli musimy przywrócić godność ludzką, która doznała uszczerbku.
