Opis

The book explains Fichte’s position on free will and predestination, including its rationale and significance. It argues that Fichte affirms both free will and predestination and explains how he purports to do so without contradiction.

Recenzje

“A genuinely fresh and provocative interpretation of Fichte as defending an idiosyncratic variety of compatibilism regarding the relationship between freedom and predestination. Highly recommended.”

Daniel Breazeale, University of Kentucky, USA
