Summary: This book presents translations of early critical responses to Kant's theory of free will, covering the years 1784–1800. For the first time in English, it includes works by lesser-known thinkers such as Pistorius, Ulrich, Heydenreich, Creuzer, and others, alongside more familiar figures like Reinhold, Fichte, and Schelling. Together, these texts reflect the intense debates surrounding the reception of Kant's account of free will in the late 18th century, highlighting controversies over the coherence of Kant's concept of transcendental freedom, the potential reconciliation of freedom with determinism, the relationship between free will and moral imputation, and other key aspects of Kant's philosophy. The volume also features a helpful introduction, a glossary of key terms, and biographical details of the critics, making it an essential resource for further research on free will in post-Kantian philosophy.
