Willensstruktur und Handlungsorganisation in Kants Theorie der praktischen Freiheit /

: Kant's theory of practical freedom represents a masterpiece of the philosophical inquiry into self-constitution, self-government, and volitional self-determination. It includes a sophisticated theory of action intrinsically determined by a specific concept of control over the processes that determine the contents of volition as well as those which facilitate the realization of ends. The most distinctive feature of this theory of action consists of the specific function of autonomously generated principles which, according to Kant, facilitate control over the process of volitional self-determination and thus constitute agency. Willensstruktur und Handlungsorganisation in Kants Theorie der praktischen Freiheit provides a detailed reconstruction of Kant's theory of practical freedom and action as rationally guided volitional self-determination in his first and second \'Critique\'.

Der "innere Gerichtshof" der Vernunft : Normativitat, Rationalitat und Gewissen in der Philosophie Immanuel Kants und im Deutschen Idealismus /

: The 11 contributions in Der "innere Gerichtshof" der Vernunft: Normativität, Rationalität und Gewissen in der Philosophie Immanuel Kants und im Deutschen Idealismus explore Immanuel Kant's description of the human conscience as an "internal court of justice". Kant's theory of conscience is discussed in the context of practical philosophy, philosophy of religion and its historical development after Kant, especially in Hegel's philosophy. Approaching general concepts such as \'normativity\' and \'rationality\' from the perspective of Kantian philosophy and German Idealism, the book goes beyond the limited scope of contemporary theories of action that often take these concepts for granted. In particular, Kant's theory of conscience invites different perspectives that are both critical and more fruitful.
