18The Beautiful and the Sublime in Kant’s Early Natural PhilosophyIn Knowledge, Freedom, and Taste: Internationaler Kant-Preis 2024: Paul Guyer, De Gruyter. pp. 95-116. 2024.Paul Guyer’s work has drawn much attention to the connection between aesthetics, morality, and teleology in Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment. Indeed, Guyer has argued that Kant’s recognition of such a connection in the 1780s provided the major impetus behind Kant’s decision to write a third Critique. This essay aims to refine Guyer’s interpretation of the development of Kant’s views regarding this connection. It does so by focusing on the role of beauty and sublimity in Kant’s early natu…Read more

16The Passion for Freedom and the Passion for the Ultimate MeansIn Knowledge, Freedom, and Taste: Internationaler Kant-Preis 2024: Paul Guyer, De Gruyter. pp. 77-94. 2024.Paul Guyer takes the freedom to set ends to be the fundamental value in Kant’s moral philosophy. He also argues that we have a passion for freedom that can ground the “content and the possibility of morality”. This paper raises and addresses questions for the idea that a passion can serve as a ground of a Kantian account of morality. It argues that we can best answer these questions if we take into account both Kant’s passion for freedom and its complements: the passions for honor, power, and po…Read more

1Kant on language (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 2025.Kant had thoughts on language, but his account of language is not explicit and cannot be found in any dedicated section of his works, so it needs to be philosophically reconstructed. The essays in this volume address the linguistic ramifications of Kant's thought and investigate his views on language from unique perspectives. They demonstrate that Kant's notions of thinking, knowing, communicating, and acting have linguistic implications: from the problem of empirical concept-formation to the ca…Read more

85I draw attention to a 12-page Vorarbeit to Kant’s Prolegomena from the so-called Scheffner-Nachlaß and argue that the parallel Kant draws there between the possibility of theoretical and practical synthetic a priori propositions provides important insight into the development of his account of practical autonomy in the Groundwork. Based on a brief sketch of the role synthetic a priori propositions play in the development of Kant’s critical philosophy, I conclude that for Kant the objective valid…Read more

113„Wenn Vernunft volle Gewalt über das Begehrungsvermögen hätte“ – Über die gemeinsame Wurzel der Kantischen ImperativeKant Studien 98 (1): 57-80. 2007.I. Kant hat mit seiner universalistischen, formalistischen und kognitivistischen Konzeption moralisch-praktischer Gründe in Gegenüberstellung zu seiner instrumentalistischen Konzeption nicht-moralisch-praktischer Gründe eine Begrifflichkeit geschaffen, die es erlaubt, handlungsleitende Überzeugungen hinsichtlich ihres Geltungsanspruchs und ihrer Verbindlichkeit zu differenzieren. Von einem ‚Sollen‘ spricht Kant in beiden Fällen. Nicht nur der kategorische Imperativ, der unbedingt gebietet, „ich …Read more
