Abstract

The philosophy of Immanuel Kant has simultaneously embraced a thoroughgoing causal determinism and proclaimed the freedom of the human will. Examining Kant's compatibilist resolution of that apparent inconsistency, Hud Hudson identifies in Kant's work a philosophically respectable view of the metaphysics of determinism and human freedom.Hudson first examines Kant's pre-critical writings on compatibilism and reviews the particulars of the Third Antinomy from the Critique of Pure Reason, in which Kant explicitly addresses the issue of compatibilism. After analyzing readings of Kant's compatibilistic resolution by Allen Wood, Jonathan Bennett, Lewis White Beck, Robert Butts, Ralf Meerbote, and Henry Allison, Hudson proposes his own interpretation. Hudson ascribes to Kant a token-token identity thesis regarding natural events and transcendentally free human actions as well as a type-type irreducibility thesis regarding the distinct sorts of descriptions with which we characterize natural events and transcendentally free human actions. The explicitly compatibilist resolution of Hudson's account neither endangers the epistemological scope of Kant's causal determinism nor requires an impoverished sense of freedom of the will. In the light of current debates regarding free will and philosophy of mind, Hudson concludes that Kant's compatibilism can be aligned with the views of certain contemporary philosophers.

Abstract

Frequently, alleged irreconcilable conflicts between science and religion are instead misdescribed battles concerning negotiable philosophical assumptions - conflicts between metaphysics and metaphysics. Hud Hudson provides a two-stage illustration of this claim with respect to the putative inconsistency between the doctrines of The Fall and Original Sin and the deliverances of contemporary science. The tension in question emerges through a study of the many forms the religious doctrines have assumed over the centuries and through a review of some well-established scientific lessons on the origin and history of the universe and of human persons. The first stage: After surveying various paths of retreat which involve reinterpreting and impoverishing Original Sin and minimizing and dehistoricizing The Fall, one version of moderate realism about the doctrines is articulated, critically evaluated, and found both consistent with contemporary science and suitable to play a crucial role in the theist's confrontation with the Problem of Evil. The second stage: Recent work in the philosophy of time and in the philosophy of religion provides intriguing support for a Hypertime Hypothesis (a species of multiverse hypothesis), distinctive for positing a series of successive hypertimes, each of which hosts a spacetime block. After arguing that the Hypertime Hypothesis is a genuine epistemic possibility and critically discussing its impact on a number of debates in metaphysics and philosophy of religion, Hudson reveals a strategy for unabashed, extreme literalism concerning The Fall and Original Sin which nevertheless has the extraordinary and delightful feature of being thoroughly consistent with the reigning scientific orthodoxy.

Abstract

Hud Hudson presents an innovative view of the metaphysics of human persons according to which human persons are material objects but not human organisms. In developing his account, he formulates and defends a unique collection of positions on parthood, persistence, vagueness, composition, identity, and various puzzles of material constitution.The author also applies his materialist metaphysics to issues in ethics and in the philosophy of religion. He examines the implications for ethics of his metaphysical views for standard arguments addressing the moral permissibility of our treatment of human persons and their parts, fetuses and infants, the irreversibly comatose, and corpses. He argues that his metaphysics provides the best foundation in the philosophy of religion for the Christian doctrine of the resurrection of the body.Hudson addresses a broad range of metaphysical issues, but among his most strikingly original contributions are his defense of the "Partist" view (according to which a material object can exactly occupy multiple, overlapping regions of spacetime) and his argument for the compatibility of Christianity with a materialistic theory of human persons.

Abstract

This book opens with defenses of the philosophy of pessimism, first on secular grounds and then again on distinctively Christian grounds with reference to the fallenness of human beings. It then details traditional Christian reasons for optimism with which this philosophy of pessimism can be qualified.
