Rezensionen

"A genuinely fresh and provocative interpretation of Fichte as defending an idiosyncratic variety of compatibilism regarding the relationship between freedom and predestination. Highly recommended."

Daniel Breazeale, University of Kentucky, USA

"Goh's scholarship is exemplary, and his analyses and interpretations are incisive and provocative . . . Goh's book demands careful consideration by anyone working seriously on Fichte or on the post-Kantian free will debate, and it should be of significant interest also to scholars of Kantian and post-Kantian philosophy more generally."
