This volume collects thirteen original essays that address the
concept of will in Classical German Philosophy from Kant to
Schopenhauer. During this short, but prolific period, the concept
of will underwent various transformations. While Kant identifies
the will with pure practical reason, Fichte introduces, in the wake
of Reinhold, an originally biological concept of drive into his
ethical theory, thereby expanding on the Kantian notion of the
will. Schelling, Hegel, and Schopenhauer take a step further and
conceive the will either as a primal being (Schelling), as a
socio-ontological entity (Hegel), or as a blindly striving,
non-rational force (Schopenhauer). Thus, the history of the will is
marked by a complex set of tensions between rational and
non-rational aspects of practical volition. The book outlines these
transformations from a historical and systematic point of view. It
offers an overview of the most important theories of the will by
the major figures of Classical German Philosophy, but also includes
interpretations of conceptions developed by lesser-studied
philosophers such as Maimon, Jacobi, Reinhold, and Bouterwek.
