Abstract
Tolerance is a multidimensional phenomenon with many meanings that initially emerged in Europe during the Renaissance in the field of religious issues, which later spread to other ethical, political, cultural, social, etc. areas, and consisted of the right to freedom of choice of religion or any kind of freedom to express one's beliefs and opinions. Since the starting point of this article, whose method is a qualitative method using a hermeneutic study of Kant's personality and his philosophical texts and the Protestant tradition, for a better understanding, his writings have been directly examined and the opinions of commentators in this field have been included. The answer to this question is why and how can the traces of Protestant religious and moral tolerance be observed in Kant? And what were the epistemological foundations of Protestant Christian religious and moral tolerance and their connection and lack of connection with Kant? Following the broad meaning of tolerance, it can be said that the Protestant Christian religion is among the religions that, based on the teachings of the Holy Bible, have expressed fundamental changes in belief and tolerance towards their followers and other religions in all social, cultural, political, religious, moral, scientific, philosophical, etc. areas. Immanuel Kant, a modern philosopher influenced by this religion and the Baptist sect, has used the ratio between his philosophical understanding of the category of tolerance in the sense of freedom, will, autonomy, and conscience, which includes philosophical, religious, and moral aspects.
