The Usefulness of the Kantian Philosophy
The works of Karl Leonhard Reinhold (1757–1823) were a major factor in the development of post-Kantian philosophy, yet his exact contribution is still under discussion. This book investigates how Reinhold’s background in Enlightenment influenced his reception of Kant’s critical philosophy. From his pre-Kantian efforts up to the point where he began distancing himself from the master, Reinhold’s own philosophical development takes center stage. This development, rather than critical philosophy, was the main ingredient of Reinhold’s contribution to post-Kantian philosophy.
The Fate of Choice: Freedom and Imputability in Kant and His Early Successors
This book reconstructs the intense early post-Kantian debate on freedom of the will, choice, and moral imputability for the first time. It addresses the following questions: How is freedom of choice possible given the causal predetermination of the world? How can we escape skepticism about freedom of the will? What are the characteristics of moral freedom? Are we free to act immorally, and if so, how exactly? And finally: How can we conceive of our individual freedom as being compatible with nature and society?
Fichte on Free Will and Predestination
The book explains Fichte’s position on free will and predestination, including its rationale and significance. It argues that Fichte affirms both free will and predestination and explains how he purports to do so without contradiction. The book presents Fichte‘s position as a form of compatibilism that has not yet been explored in the literature. Due to early rationalist convictions, Fichte is as much concerned with reconciling freedom with a logical and a theological determinism as he is with a causal determinism. He sees in Kant’s novel concept of a pure practical reason a new form of rationalism, one consisting of a system of moral rather than natural necessitating grounds. At the s...
Kant's Impact on Moral Philosophy
This book examines Immanuel Kant's impact on moral philosophy from his time to our own. Kant's moral philosophy can seem complicated, but at the most basic level it is driven by the simple idea that the greatest possible freedom for each combined with an equal degree of freedom for all is the fundamental principle of philosophy.
Reinhold and Fichte in Confrontation
From the early 1790s until after the turn of the century, a very productive but also controversial exchange took place between Reinhold and Fichte. Though many key aspects of post-Kantian philosophy were discussed, the philosophical confrontation between Reinhold and Fichte is most instructive for the understanding of post-Kantian philosophy. The exchange started when Fichte published his verdict on Reinhold's Elementarphilosophie and disapproved of its fundamental principle. In 1794 Fichte challenged Reinhold by presenting his Wissenschaftslehre. Reinhold was not convinced of Fichte's foundation of philosophy at first, but announced that he accepted the Wissenschaftslehre in 1797. While Rei...
Karl Leonhard Reinhold’s Transcendental Psychology
Reinhold’s Elementary Philosophy is the first system of transcendental philosophy after Kant. The scholarship of the last years has understood it in different ways: as a model of Grundsatzphilosophie, as a defense of the concept of freedom, as a transformation of philosophy into history of philosophy. The present investigation intends to underline another ‘golden thread’ that runs through the writings of Reinhold from 1784 to 1794: that which sees in the Elementary Philosophy a system of transcendental psychology.
The Palgrave Handbook of German Idealism
The Palgrave Handbook of German Idealism features essays from leading scholars on German philosophy. It is the most comprehensive secondary source available, covering not only the full range of work by Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel, but also idealists such as Reinhold and Schopenhauer, critics such as Jacobi, Maimon, and the German Romantics
Wille, Willkür, Freiheit
Karl Leonhard Reinhold skizziert in den Briefen über die Kantische Philosophie von 1792 Grundlinien zu einer praktischen Philosophie im Anschluss an Kant, in deren Zentrum markante Reflexionen über Willen und Willensfreiheit stehen. In der Absicht, Kants Freiheitslehre gegen die im Zeichen eines "intelligiblen Fatalismus" stehenden Deutungen und Vorwürfe zu verteidigen, akzentuiert Reinhold den Begriff der Willensfreiheit neu. Seine Definition als Vermögen, sich für oder gegen das Sittengesetz zu entscheiden, legt den Grundstein zu der seit der frühen Systemphilosophie typischen Fokussierung auf diesen Begriff als Fundament der Moralphilosophie, wenn nicht der Philsophie überhaupt. Zu den verteidigten kantischen Lehren ergibt sich indessen ein spannungsvolles Verhältnis, das Kant in der Metaphysik der Sitten zu Klarstellungen und Differenzierungen zwischen Wille und Willkür veranlasst. Im vorliegenden Band wird dieses Kapitel der nachkantischen Freiheitsdiskussion aus verschiedenen Perspektiven interpretiert und diskutiert.
Grundriss Geschichte der Metaphysik
Unter den philosophischen Disziplinen ist die Metaphysik die älteste. Ihre Bedeutung war in vormoderner Zeit so groß, dass sie nachgerade mit der Philosophie überhaupt gleichgesetzt wurde. Nur wer Metaphysik betrieb, konnte nach älterem Verständnis den Anspruch erheben, als Philosoph ernst genommen zu werden. In zweitausend Jahren Philosophiegeschichte haben sich zahlreiche große philosophische Systeme herausgebildet, die wir als »metaphysisch« klassifizieren würden. Ob der Ursprung des Terminus »Metaphysik« tatsächlich auf den Zufall zurückgeht, dass Andronikos von Rhodos (1. Jh. v. Chr.) beim Redigieren der Werke des Aristoteles vierzehn Bücher unter dem Titel meta ta physika...
