Hegel’s Non-Metaphysical Idea of Freedom
2016
the article explores the putatively non-metaphysical – non-voluntarist, and even non-causal – concept of freedom outlined in Hegel’s work and discusses its influential interpretation by robert Pippin as an ‘essentially practical’ concept. I argue that Hegel’s affirmation of freedom must be distinguished from that of Kant and Fichte, since it does not rely on a prior understanding of self-consciousness as an originally teleological relation and it has not the nature of a claim ‘from a practical point of view’.
Christian Krijnen (ed.): Metaphysics of Freedom: Kant’s Concept of Cosmological Freedom in Historical and Systematic Perspective (Critical Studies in…
2019
En un conocido pasaje de Los Progresos de la Metafísica, Kant advierte que la realidad de la libertad es, junto con la idealidad de las representaciones de espacio y tiempo, el pilar sobre el cual descansa la totalidad de la metafísica. Además de ocupar este rol arquitectónico, el concepto kantiano de libertad es complejo y polisémico, tal como lo muestra la coexistencia, en su teoría, de sus especificaciones como libertad transcendental - o cosmológica, libertad práctica, o arbitrio.

Umkehrung der Verhältnisse. Schellings Rezeption der Moralphilosophie Kants und ihre philosophiegeschichtliche Dimension
2020
Comparisons between Kant and Schelling are mostly used to systematically analyse topics of German idealism. However, such an approach often disregards the resulting historical aspects. This paper is an attempt to draw historical conclusions from such a systematic analysis. I do so by showing how Schelling’s critique of Kant’s moral doctrine in Philosophie und Religion allows to gain an insight into Schelling’s philosophical development. Specifically, I argue that this criticism rests upon the claim that the ordo cognoscendi must follow the ordo essendi. This claim will be rejected in Schelling’s Freiheitsschrift and Stuttgarter Privatvorlesungen. Finally, historical remarks conclude this co…
María Zambrano’s Phenomenology of Poetic Reason
2002
Maria Zambrano was born in Velez-Malaga (Malaga) in 1904. Her father, Blas Zambrano, a teacher by profession, was to play a significant part in influencing her, along with her close friend, the poet Antonio Machado. In 1924 she moved to Madrid where she studied philosophy and attended classes given by Ortega y Gasset, Xavier Zubiri and Garcia Morente. A staunch supporter of the Republic, she went into exile after the end of the Civil War. After a long exodus through Mexico, Cuba, Paris, Rome and other places, she returned to Spain where she received the Cervantes Prize for Literature (1988). She died in Madrid in 1996.
