Kant's concept of freedom holds a pivotal position as the cornerstone of the entire framework of pure reason, even in the realm of speculative reasoning. Consequently, Kant's theory of freedom assumes a fundamental and cohesive role across all facets of his philosophy, making it of utmost interest to scholars of Kant's thought. Moreover, Kant's notion of freedom has exerted a substantial influence in contemporary discussions in metaphysics, normative ethics, and metaethics. This volume aims to foster a dialogue between historians of Kant's philosophy and contemporary metaphysicians and ethicists, with the objective of presenting the current state of scholarship on Kant's and Kantian accounts of freedom while also exploring new avenues of inquiry.

The Idea of Freedom presents a collection of essays by renowned scholars on a diverse array of historical and contemporary issues that are closely interconnected with the Kantian theory of freedom. These topics encompass transcendental idealism, determinism, Kant's normative ethical theory, his conception of cognition, his theory of beauty, his conception of logic, and numerous other subjects.

By engaging with contemporary metaphysicians and ethicists, this volume seeks to represent the current state of scholarship on Kant's and Kantian accounts of freedom while simultaneously opening up fresh avenues for exploration. The insights and perspectives offered by these scholars contribute to a deeper understanding of Kant's philosophy and its enduring relevance in contemporary philosophical discourse.
