De Gruyter Kants Theorie der Freiheit: Rekonstruktion 151

Explore a deep re-examination of Immanuel Kant's theories in this scholarly work from De Gruyter. In modern debates regarding the freedom of the will, Kant's theories are often dismissed as outdated metaphysics. This book challenges that perspective by addressing three fundamental questions that remain unresolved in current academic discourse. First, it identifies the specific concept of freedom Kant employs. Second, it examines the function of this concept within his philosophical framework. Third, it evaluates the proofs Kant provides for its justification. The author demonstrates that Kant's theory has been misrepresented in all three areas and seeks to restore its systematic validity. This volume, part of the Kantstudien-Erganzungshefte series (Number 151), provides a necessary rehabilitation of Kantian thought. It offers a rigorous academic look at why certain forms of moral practice cannot be understood without a proper reconstruction of his freedom theory. This is an essential resource for students and scholars of Western philosophy and history.
