What is Kant_A Compatibilist or An Incompatibilist.pdf

Abstract: There are generally two controversial issues over Kant’s solution to the free will problem. One is over whether he is a compatibilist or an incompatibilist and the other is over whether his solution is a success. In this paper, I will argue, regarding the first controversy, that “compatibilist” and “incompatibilist” are not the right terms to describe Kant for his unique views on freedom and determinism; but that of the two, incompatibilist is the more accurate description. Regarding the second controversy, I will argue that Kant’s solution to the free will problem is not a success because his effort in making the effects of freedom part of the field of appearance has made his solution incoherent and ambiguous. Despite this, I argue that Kant’s attempt to solve the free will problem is groundbreaking because he at least has separated freedom from the dominance of determinism. Key words: the free will problem; determinism; compatibilist; incompatibilist
