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.
This novel contributed volume advances the current debate on free
will by bridging the divide between analytic and historically
oriented approaches to the problem. With thirteen chapters by
leading academics in the field, the volume is divided into three
parts: free will and determinism, free will and indeterminism, and
free will and moral responsibility. The contributors aim to
initiate a philosophical discourse that profits from a combination
of the two approaches. On the one hand, the analytic tools familiar
from the debate - arguments, concepts, and distinctions - can be
used to sharpen our understanding of classical philosophical
positions. On the other hand, the rich philosophical tradition can
be reconstructed so as to inspire new solutions. In recent years,
the problem of free will has received special attention in the
analytic arena. This is the first anthology to combine historical
and analytic perspectives, significantly furthering the debate, and
providing a crucial resource to academics and advanced students
alike.
This book offers translations of early critical reactions to Kant's
account of free will. Spanning the years 1784-1800, the
translations make available, for the first time in English, works
by little-known thinkers including Pistorius, Ulrich, Heydenreich,
Creuzer and others, as well as familiar figures including Reinhold,
Fichte and Schelling. Together they are a testimony to the intense
debates surrounding the reception of Kant's account of free will in
the 1780s and 1790s, and throw into relief the controversies
concerning the coherence of Kant's concept of transcendental
freedom, the possibility of reconciling freedom with determinism,
the relation between free will and moral imputation, and other
arguments central to Kant's view. The volume also includes a
helpful introduction, a glossary of key terms and biographical
details of the critics, and will provide a valuable foundation for
further research on free will in post-Kantian philosophy.
This volume gathers a collection of fourteen original articles
discussing the concept of drive in classical German philosophy. Its
aim is to offer a comprehensive historical overview of the concept
of drive at the turn of the 19th century and to discuss it both
historically and systematically. From the 18th century onward, the
concept of drive started to play an important role in emerging
disciplines such as biology, anthropology, and psychology. In these
fields, the concept of drive was used to describe the inner forces
of organic nature, or, more particularly, human urges and desires.
But it was in the period of classical German philosophy that this
concept developed into an important philosophical concept crucial
to Kant's and post-Kantian idealistic systems. Reflecting the
complexity of this concept, the volume first discusses historical
sources of drive theories in Leibniz, Reimarus, and Blumenbach.
Afterwards, the volume presents the philosophical accounts of
drives in Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, and also gives a
systematic overview of other important drive theories that were
formed around 1800 by Herder, Goethe, Jacobi, Novalis, Reinhold,
Schiller, and Schopenhauer.

Philosophische und kulturelle Aspekte.- Padagogische und
didaktische Aspekte.
Der Sammelband will den Fragen nachgehen, was eigentlich
studierendenzentrierte Lehre ist, welche konkreten
Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung einer studierendenzentrierten
Lehre auftreten und wie eine solche Lehre angesichts dieser
Herausforderungen umgesetzt werden kann. Aber auch: Welche Hurden
haben sich bisher als unuberwindbar erwiesen, und wie koennen
Lehrende damit umgehen?
