Freiheit nach Kant, Tradition, Rezeption, Transformation, Aktualität.
:
Kant's conception of freedom is of special importance in the history of philosophy. It not only brings together older traditions but has great influence on later theories of freedom. The edited volume analyzes Kant's theory, referring to the concepts of will, choice, autonomy, and reason. It consists of four parts: Kant's theory in its historical context; Kant's own conception as developed in his various philosophical works; central conceptions of freedom in German Idealism after Kant (including Reinhold, Schiller, Maimon, Jacobi, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer); the systematic relevance of Kant's conception of freedom with regard to recent debates in analytic philosophy (agent causality, compatibilism and incompatibilism).

Metaphysics of Freedom? Kant's Concept of Cosmological Freedom in Historical and Systematic Perspective.
:
Freedom is one of the main issues of modern philosophy and Kant's philosophy of freedom a major source for comprehending it. Whereas in contemporary debates Kant's 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, Kant's concept of cosmological freedom is scrutinized both in a historical and a systematic perspective. As a result, a deeper and broader understanding of Kant's conception of freedom, its presuppositions, and problems emerges.

Autonome Praxis und intelligible Welt : die transzendental-praktische Freiheit in Kants Lehre vom hochsten Gut /
:
In Autonome Praxis und intelligible Welt: Die transzendental-praktische Freiheit in Kants Lehre vom höchsten Gut Walid Faizzada reconstructs Kant's theory of freedom in light of modern debates about determinism and free will. Faizzada argues that the Kantian position is neither a kind of compatibilism nor incompatibilism. The theory of freedom includes the specific concept of intellectual causality as the power to act by principles and for practical reasons. The most innovative feature constitutes the self-determination of rational agents regarding the idea of the noumenal world. Kant's philosophical approach to freedom culminates in the concept of so-called transcendental-practical freedom which prepares the ground for morality.
