Free will and responsibility
Vol 8, No 1 (2007) • Filosofia Unisinos - Unisinos Journal of Philosophy

Resumo:
The focal concern of this article is to verify the consistence of Schopenhauer´s account of moral and juridical imputation, which requires the presupposition of Kant´s conception of transcedental liberty. Schopenhauer´s view of responsibility and moral consciousness grounds on the basis of Kant´s concept of intelligible character as much on the equivocal of the term “action” (Tat) as Kant point it out in the Religion within the bounds of mere Reason. The main consequence of my interpretation is that Schopenhauer´s theory only makes sense under the assumption of a fundamental concept provided from his greatest adversary.
