Kant and Schelling on the ground of evil
Schelling's views of evil in Philosophical Inquiries into the Nature of Human Freedom is usually thought of as a radicalization of Kant's argument for the propensity to evil in human nature in Religion within the Bounds of Mere Reason. In this paper, I argue that (1) Kant does not provide...

Zusammenfassung: | Schelling's views of evil in Philosophical Inquiries into the Nature of Human Freedom is usually thought of as a radicalization of Kant's argument for the propensity to evil in human nature in Religion within the Bounds of Mere Reason. In this paper, I argue that (1) Kant does not provide a full transcendental deduction for the ground of evil in human nature because this would give a rational reason for there to be evil (i.e. evil would not be its own ground), (2) Schelling provides a theological-metaphysical reconstruction of Kant's argument by providing a non-rational ground (Unground) for evil and (3) the difference between Kant and Schelling lies in how they conceive of the actualization of the ground of evil-through intelligible deed or protohistorical choice-which has repercussions for how they think of conversion. |
