Metaphysics of Freedom?
Kant's Concept of Cosmological Freedom in Historical and Systematic Perspective
Series: - Critical Studies in German Idealism, Volume: 23
Editor:
Freedom is one of the main issues of modern philosophy and Kantâs philosophy of freedom a major source for comprehending it. Whereas in contemporary debates Kantâs concept of practical freedom is addressed frequently, the cosmological foundation of it is much less discussed and even mostly taken for granted. In Metaphysics of Freedom?, by contrast, Kantâs concept of cosmological freedom is scrutinized both in a historical and a systematic perspective. As a result, a deeper and broader understanding of Kantâs conception of freedom, its presuppositions, and problems emerges.
Christian Krijnen (PhD 2001, habilitation 2006) is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Netherlands). In his numerous monographs and articles, Kant, Hegel, neo-Kantianism, and contemporary transcendental philosophy play a major role.
