Instead of abandoning the concept of the categorical imperative, which he expressed in his Critique of Practical Reason, Kant reiterates on his previous theories, even partly, in his subsequent treatise Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason (1797), in order to suggest norms of behaviour which succumb to a generalised subjectivity of the conscience, through a religious concept of the Good and, finally, towards the triumph of good over evil, which leads to the salvation of man.
