Die Untersuchung setzt sich zum Ziel, die kantische Konzeption des "Ich" bzw. des Selbstbewusstseins in ihrer spezifisch erkenntnistheoretischen Bedeutung aufzuschlieen. Diese umfassende Thematik, die zweifellos zum Fundament des kritischen Idealismus fuhrt, entfaltet der Verfasser dadurch, dass er auf der Basis praziser Textanalysen die immanenten Entwicklungslinien der kantischen Subjekttheorie von deren Ursprung im 'stillen Jahrzehnt' der 1770er Jahre uber die Paralogismus-Kritik bis hin zu den experimentellen Entwurfen der spaten Reflexionen rekonstruiert. Im Fokus stehen dabei vor...

Dass Kants Philosophie fur die philosophische Reflexion der kulturellen Welt des Menschen unzureichend sei, ist ein bis heute gangiges Vorurteil. Ihm entgegen liegt der vorliegenenden Arbeit die These zugrunde, dass eine Kulturphilosophie auf Basis des kantischen Kulturbegriffs und des kantischen Philosophiebegriffs als Theorie technischer Vernunft moglich ist. Diese philosophische Doktrin hat die Bedingungen der Moglichkeit der Erkenntnis von technischem Entwerfen und Handeln sowie deren Produkten zum Gegenstand. Indem der Autor zuerst werkimmanente Probleme zum Kulturbegriff Kants...

Kant's omnipresence in contemporary cosmopolitan discourses contrasts with the fact that little is known about the historical origins and the systematic status of his cosmopolitan theory. This study argues that Kant's cosmopolitanism should be understood as embedded and dynamic. Inspired by Rousseau, Kant developed a form of cosmopolitanism rooted in a modified form of republican patriotism. In contrast to static forms of cosmopolitanism, Kant conceived the tensions between embedded, local attachments and cosmopolitan obligations in dynamic terms. He posited duties to develop a...

This essay argues that we can only develop a proper grasp of Kant's practical philosophy if we appreciate the central role played in his thought by the notion of the interests of reason. While it is generally acknowledged that Kant does not regard reason as a purely instrumental faculty, but sees it as endowed with its own essential interests, this book is the first to explain how the notion of the interests of reason lies at the heart of his philosophical project - and how it allows us to make sense of some of the most puzzling aspects of his practical philosophy.

In a short chapter of the Critique of Practical Reason entitled “On the Typic of the Pure Practical Power of Judgment,” Kant addresses a crucial problem facing his theory of moral judgment: How can we represent the supersensible moral law so as to apply it to actions in the sensible world? Despite its importance to Kant's project, previous studies of the Typic have been fragmentary, disparate, and contradictory. This book provides a detailed commentary on the Typic, elucidating how it enables moral judgment by means of the law of nature, which serves as the 'type', or analogue, of the...

In focusing on the systematic deduction of the categories from a principle, Schulting takes up anew the controversial project of the eminent German Kant scholar Klaus Reich, whose monograph “The Completeness of Kant's Table of Judgments” made the case that the logical functions of judgement can all be derived from the objective unity of apperception and can be shown to link up with one another systematically. Common opinion among Kantians today has it that Kant did not mean to derive the functions of judgement, and accordingly the categories, from the principle of apperception....

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of Kant’s justification of the categorical imperative. The book contests the standard interpretation of Kant’s views by arguing that he never abandoned his view about this as expressed in his Groundwork. It is distinctive in the way in which it places Kant’s argument in the context of his transcendental philosophy as a whole, which is essential to understand it as an argument from within human agential self-understanding. The book reviews that existing literature, then presents a logical construction of Kant’s argument, which it defends by...
