Freedom: Free Will and Autonomy

The course deals with the question of freedom through two of its fundamental determinations: the free will and the autonomy of the subject. Both modules take inspiration from Immanuel Kant and, starting from his thought, separately consider an analytical and a continental philosophical approach to the question of freedom.
