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.

In diesem Buch wird die Frage untersucht, inwiefern es einen Konflikt gibt zwischen zwei Sichtweisen auf Personen, die uns beide vertraut sind. Zum einen sind wir der Auffassung, dass Personen aus Gründen urteilen und handeln, dass ihre Handlungen und Meinungen durch Prozesse zustande kommen, die sowohl in ihrem Verlauf als auch ihrem Resultat bestimmten normativen Standards unterliegen, für deren Einhaltung oder Nicht-Einhaltung Personen oft auch verantwortlich gemacht werden. Zum anderen versuchen wir manchmal, ihre Meinungen und Handlungen genauso wie andere Phänomene zu erklären und suchen dabei nach zeitlich vorhergehenden Faktoren als Ursachen. Eine vollständige Erklärung würde dabei die Meinung oder Handlung des Subjekts als durch diese Ursachen alternativlos festgelegt und damit als determiniert erweisen. Zwischen diesen beiden Sichtweisen kann man aus verschiedenen Gründen und in verschiedenen Hinsichten einen manifesten Konflikt oder zumindest eine Spannung erblicken. Diese Konfliktfelder, in denen sich jeweils kompatibilistische und inkompatibilistische Argumente und Positionen gegenüber stehen, bilden den Gegenstand der vorliegenden Untersuchung. In many ways, determinism would seem to be irreconcilable with our self-understanding. What are these ways, and how precisely do they clash with determinism? Is this clash real or merely apparent? And how exactly might indeterminism be helpful? This study explores the diverse implications of these questions.

Robert Grosseteste (c. 1168-1253), Bishop of Lincoln from 1235 to 1253, was one of the most prominent and remarkable figures in thirteenth-century English intellectual life. He made a powerful impression on his contemporaries and subsequent thinkers at Oxford, and has been hailed as an inspiration to scientific developments in fourteenth-century Oxford. De libero arbitrio, his influential treatise on free will, was written between about 1225 and the early 1230s. This new edition contains Latin texts and en-face English translations of the two versions of the treatise. An extensive introduction provides a thorough account of Grosseteste's treatise, the sources of the text and also its uses in later writers such as Richard Rufus of Cornwall and Richard Fishacre. This book will be of interest not only to specialists in medieval philosophy and theology, but also to the general reader interested in free will.

Psychological experiments carried out over a period of nearly forty years led Georg von Bekesy to realize that inhibition interconnects, at least in one respect, the fields of vision, hearing, skin sensations, taste, and smell. This book indeed almost creates the field of sensory inhibition as a significant one for study, bringing understanding to many observations that formerly seemed uncertain or unrelated and raising many problems still to be solved.Originally published in 1967.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
