The Passion for Freedom and the Passion for the Ultimate Means

Wiebke Deimling

Deimling’s paper looks at the role a passion for freedom plays in Kant’s moral philosophy. Can a passion for freedom give us moral guidance and serve as a ground for our moral claims? It is likely to mislead us to be overly self-centered. But it is also an important spur for our moral development.

Presently, he is focusing on the nature of so-called “phenomenal concepts” — our concepts of the qualitative aspects of our own sensory experience — and the role they play in discussions about anti-physicalist arguments.
