Abstract

Peter van Inwagen, author of the classic book An Essay on Free Will (1983), has established himself over the last forty years as a leading figure in the philosophical debate about the problem of free will. This volume presents eleven influential essays from throughout his career, as well as two new and previously unpublished essays, 'The Problem of Fr** W*ll' and 'Ability'. The essays include discussions of determinism, moral responsibility, 'Frankfurt counterexamples', the meaning of 'the ability to do otherwise', and the very definition of free will, as well as critiques of writings on the topic by Daniel Dennett and David Lewis. An introduction by the author discusses the history of his thinking about free will. The volume will be a valuable resource for those looking to engage with van Inwagen's significant contributions to this perennially important topic.

Abstract

L'Essai sur le libre arbitre de Peter van Inwagen a largement contribué, depuis sa publication en 1983, au développement des discussions contemporaines sur la métaphysique de la liberté et sur les fondements de la responsabilité morale. Il importe autant par la position qu'il défend, en restaurant la thèse de l'incompatibilité du libre arbitre et du déterminisme contre le compatibilisme dominant à l'époque, et par sa cartographie des positions et des arguments, qui balisent toujours les discussions en cours, que par le soin apporté à certains d'entre eux, à commencer par l'Argument de la Conséquence en faveur de l'incompatibilisme, et par le travail de méta-philosophie qui accompagne constamment les démonstrations de l'auteur. A ce titre, on peut le considérer comme un classique de la réflexion philosophique sur la liberté et de la métaphysique analytique.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

This book, first published in 1936, divides into roughly two parts: a re-examination of historical material; and a positive theory of causation suggested by the results of this re-examination. The historical study discloses an ambiguity in the meanings of causation and determinism; it discloses also that this ambiguity is transferred to the meaning of freedom.

Abstract

This volume presents the Latin critical edition, with English translation on facing pages, of six questions from Robert Greystones's Sentences commentary. Greystones's discussions provide an excellent window onto debates concerning the will at Oxford in the early 1320s, since he works out his solutions in critical dialogue with contemporaries such as William of Ockham, William of Alnwick, Robert Cowton, Richard Conington, Henry of Harclay, and Peter Aureol. In order to show the cut and thrust of these debates, the editors include many ample quotations from these thinkers, including material found only in manuscript. A clear and extensive introduction describes Greystones's life and doctrine of the will. The editors also provide a complete list of Greystones's numerous questions in the four books of his commentary, found only in Westminster Abbey MS 13.

Abstract

Techniques de procréation médicalement assistées, gestation pour autrui, intersexualité … Autant de problématiques de nos sociétés contemporaines qui soulèvent la question du libre choix, de la liberté individuelle, et du féminisme.Peut-on tout se permettre au nom de la liberté individuelle ? En quoi consiste la liberté des individus ? Jusqu’où va-t-elle ? Et comment se négocie sa réalisation vis-à-vis d’autres valeurs ? Qu’en est-il en particulier des femmes, face à des questions qui abordent la maîtrise de leur propre corps ? Dans un contexte secoué par les scandales fabriqués sur la théorie du genre et les prises de position moralisatrices, l’auteur s’attache à éclairer philosophiquement ces questions en s’appuyant sur de nombreux exemples. Elle fait voler en éclat le traditionnel débat entre conservatistes et progressistes, et ouvre une nouvelle voie en repositionnant le débat autour de la question du choix et de l’éthique du choix. Pourquoi, encore, aujourd’hui, poser la question du féminisme ?
