Schopenhauer Edited by Christopher Janaway Frontmatter More Information Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-62106-9 - The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer Edited by Christopher Janaway Frontmatter More information the cambridge companion to SCHOPENHAUER Each volume of this series of companions to major philoso- phers contains specially commissioned essays by an inter- national team of scholars, together with a substantial bibli- ography, and will serve as a reference work for students and nonspecialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimi- dation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) is something of a mav- erick figure in the history of philosophy. He produced a unique theory of the world and human existence based upon his notion of will. This collection analyzes the related but distinct components of will from the point of view of episte- mology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, ethics, and the philosophy of psychoanalysis. This volume explores Schopenhauer’s philosophy of death, his relationship to the philosophy of Kant, his use of ideas drawn from both Bud- dhism and Hinduism, and the important influence he exerted on Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein. New readers will find this the most convenient and acces- sible guide to Schopenhauer currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent de- velopments in the interpretation of Schopenhauer.

Human Beings and the Moral Law: Moral Precariousness in Kant's Ethical Philosophy Abstract ABSTRACT HUMAN BEINGS AND THE MORAL LAW: MORAL PRECARIOUSNESS IN KANT'S ETHICAL PHILOSOPHY Bradley M. Taylor Dr. Paul Guyer This dissertation is an examination of human moral precariousness in Kant's ethics. Human beings are in a state of moral precariousness insofar as they are ever-capable of transgressing the moral law and are often uncertain of the moral worth of their actions. Put another way, in this dissertation I argue that the basic relationship between human beings and the moral law, in Kant's moral philosophy, is, most fundamentally, one of tenuousness and vacillation. This relation is the fundamental characteristic of the human moral condition because such a relation is built into Kant's account of human moral agency. We have a tenuous relation to the moral law because we always have at least the possibility of conflict between our desire for happiness (i.e. the satisfaction of our inclinations) and the requirements of the moral law.

    Mature Kantians Mika LaVaque-Manty [email protected] Department of Political Science University of Michigan Philip Otto Runge, Hülsenbeck Children, 1805–6. © ARTstor. Prepared for delivery at the 2004 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, September 2 – September 5, 2004. © American Political Science Association. Mature Kantians i INTRODUCTION: THE AUTONOMY PROBLEM One of the many problems facing Enlightenment thinkers was the question of how to reconcile their claim that all humans have equal dignity by virtue of their autonomous agency with the fact that many people neither enjoyed the respect their dignity warranted nor acted in ways that would have suggested they were meaningfully autonomous.1 If the 18th century was the age of the Enlightenment, many people didn’t act their age. Part of the problem was political in the institutional sense: absolutism, feudal vestiges and religious authoritarianism made it difficult, even impossible, for people to be autonomous. But these didn’t account for all the problems, and as Kant suggested, another part had to with ordinary people themselves: the people’s “immaturity” was also “self-incurred.” This was a real pickle, both theoretically and practically: If another person’s autonomous agency is your goal, you had better be careful about what and how much you do for her. There is a real tension, if not an outright conflict, between paternalism and respect for autonomy. There is also a risk of elitism in concerning yourself with others’ autonomy. In the absence of a shared summum bonum — and I take it that part of what modernity means is the absence of a shared summum bonum — the apparent end of a person’s action doesn’t always tell you whether she chose the action or the end.

  • Kant's Metaphysics of the Self
    Philosophers’ volume 10, no. 8 ot many philosophers would turn to Kant for a positive view august 2010 about the metaphysics of the self (the referent of ‘I’). On the Imprint N contrary, most of Kant’s interpreters read him as warning that any attempt to give a positive account of the self’s nature is doomed to failure, and as building his theories without metaphysical assump- tions about the self.1 This broad interpretive approach, which I’ll call the “anti-metaphysical interpretation,” often sees Kant’s project as an- Kant’s Metaphysics ticipating Wittgenstein’s claims that the self or subject “doesn’t belong to the world, but is a limit of the world.”2 In some form or other, the anti-metaphysical interpretation is pres- ent in all major discussions of Kant’s views on the self. In a 1993 sur- of the Self vey of the literature, Günter Zöller stated that “[d]ifferences of method and philosophical approach aside, the interpretations … show a re- markable agreement in their understanding of Kant’s thinking self as a form or structure that eludes any attempt at reification.”3 The consen- sus now is similar — for instance, in the most recent book on the topic Arthur Melnick argues that in Kant’s theoretical philosophy the self should be understood as something like an activity precisely because this avoids construing it as an entity of any sort.4 In what follows, I argue that not only is the anti-metaphysical in- terpretation mistaken, but that Kant offers us a subtle, plausible meta- physical account of the self that has no direct analogue in the contem- porary literature.

I was undecided on whether Nietzsche was a virtue ethicist, but I was considering it, simply because of how frequently he mentions virtue and because Aristotle was one of the few major philosophers I knew of that Nietzsche didn’t routinely, vehemently reject. The beginning and middle of Solomon’s text made me very hopeful for his conclusion.

Chapter 1, "Why Apply Mathematics?" argues that scientific theories are not about the mathematics that is applied in them, and defends this thesis against the Quine-Putnam Indispensability Argument. Chapter 2, "Scientific Ontology," is a critical study of W. V. Quine's claim that metaphysics and mathematics are epistemologically on a par with nat- ural science. It is argued that Quine's view relies on a unacceptable account of empirical confirmation. Chapter 3, "Prior and the Platonist," demonstrates the incompatibility of two popular views about time: the "Platonist" thesis that some objects exist "outside" time, and A.

  • Values of Beauty: Historical Essays in Aesthetics Paul Guyer Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521844908 - Values of Beauty: Historical Essays in Aesthetics Paul Guyer Frontmatter More information Values of Beauty Historical Essays in Aesthetics In Values of Beauty, Paul Guyer discusses major ideas and figures in the history of aesthetics from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. At the core of the book are Guyer’s most recent essays on the epochal contribution of Immauel Kant. The book sets Kant’s work in the context of predecessors, contemporaries, and successors, including David Hume, Alexander Gerard, Archibald Alison, Arthur Schopenhauer, and John Stuart Mill. All of the essays emphasize the complexity rather than the isolation of our aesthetic experience of both nature and art, and the intercon- nection of aesthetic values such as beauty and sublimity on the one hand and prudential and moral values on the other. Guyer asserts that the idea of the freedom of the imagination as the key to both artistic creation and aesthetic experience has been a common thread throughout the modern history of aesthetics, al- though the freedom of the imagination has been understood and connected to other forms of freedom in many different ways. Paul Guyer is Professor of Philosophy and Florence R. C. Murray Professor in the Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of five books on Kant, most recently Kant on Freedom, Law, and Happiness, and he is General Co-Editor of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant, in which he has contributed to the translation of the Critique of Pure Reason, the Critique of the Power of Judgment, and Kant’s Notes and Fragments.
