# Prussian censorship after Religion within the Boundaries of Bare Reason forbids Kant to write further on religion (cabinet order 1794)

Date: 1794

## The fact

After the 1793 Religion book, a Prussian cabinet order of 1794 forbade Kant to write further on religion. Immanuel Kant's documented role is: He published Religion in 1793 and was then ordered not to write further on religion under Frederick William II and Wöllner. He did not issue the cabinet order.

## Context

Wöllner and Frederick William II are the named censors. Sharing that royal office is required. The book itself remains a separate public argument. The setting of Prussian censorship after Religion within the Boundaries of Bare Reason forbids Kant to write further on religion (cabinet order 1794) is the public file around 1794-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [democratic-resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not store a 2024 conference as 1794. The 1793 book is a split improving row. Mixed effects of Prussian censorship after Religion within the Boundaries of Bare Reason forbids Kant to write further on religion (cabinet order 1794) are separate paths.
