In this small book, Ulrich Steinvorth describes the reasons why
analytic philosophy, which started as an anti-metaphysical project,
has become a strong advocate of metaphysics, and why it must become
synthetic, normative, and naturalistic. Steinvorth argues that
self-regulation is the common property of all being, that we can
talk of an increase or escalation of self-regulation in the
evolution of being, and that self-regulation becomes
self-determination in man. Considering objections to this view
related to questions of free will, consciousness, the naturalistic
fallacy, and teleology, he draws on cybernetics, dual process
theory, physical cosmology, and Leibniz's ("demiurgic") idea of
measuring the goodness of a world by the number of possibilities
opened up by the world. To test his approach and show its political
relevance, he applies it to political liberalism.
