Lucid and, especially for those familiar only with Kant's critical period, helpful discussions of several pre-critical texts together with an engagement with selected secondary literature. Here Insole's exposition is nuanced and sure-handed., "There is no shortage of secondary works on Kant's conception of freedom, which he himself tells us is the central concern of his philosophy. However, there are relatively few works that examine Kant's pre-Critical understanding of freedom, or the motives behind his shift to the views we more traditionally associate with him. Kant and the Creation of Freedom is a welcome remedy to such neglect. Insole's work will be of interest not only to Kant scholars, but also to theologians and philosophers of religion, particularly those interested in the relation of Kant to medieval and early modern thought. In addition to the central topic of Kant's changing views of freedom, Insole includes helpful discussions of the views of Aquinas, Leibniz, and Surez, and well as a chapter devoted to whether Kant really defends belief in God and noumenal substances or holds some weaker or more voluntaristic attitude. "--David Sussman, Critique "Insole's project is tremendously important and provides an equally comprehensive, focused and illuminating take on familiar Kantian issues from what for many readers still is a thoroughly unfamiliar perspective. It is rare to see philosophers like Aquinas, Surez and others along this line discussed in the context of Kant, and Insole's book shows that invoking this context has a clarifying effect on a large number of passages in Kant's uvre...I should like to close by reiterating how deeply illuminating Insole's approach is and how he manages to shed light on a number of as yet largely unexplored aspects of Kant's thought. Moreover, he provides the resources for reassessing quite a few allegedly familiar claims by placing them in a context thoroughly unfamiliar and perhaps even alien to many quarters of contemporary Kant scholarship. He has done us all a great service by linking Kant to the Thomist tradition of scholasticism."--Wolfgang Ertl, Critique "Christopher Insole has done something remarkable. He has provided a novel and credible account of the development of Kant's transcendental idealism... This is an excellent book." --Journal of the History of Philosophy "How can human beings act freely, if divine creation determines their nature?

Synopsis
Kant actively struggles with the problem of how to conceive of God's creative action in relation to human freedom. He comes to the view that human freedom can only be protected if God withdraws in certain ways from the created world. The two pillars of Kant's mature philosophy - transcendental idealism and freedom - are in part shaped and motivated by Kant's need to provide a solution to his theological problem. The medieval and early modern theological tradition conceives of divine action as unlike the action of any created being. When the creature acts, God directly causes this action, but without reducing the creature's freedom. Kant explicitly discusses and rejects this account of divine and human concursus. This rejection has significant and surprising ramifications for Kant's wider philosophy, explaining otherwise incomprehensible claims in his critical philosophy. Christopher J. Insole presents a definitive study in the history of ideas, engaging with a wide range of Kant's texts from 1749 until the early 1800s. Many of these texts have received little or no attention in Kant studies to date. Insole places Kant's thought in relation to numerous historical and traditional positions and illuminates these positions by a close engagement with recent debates in analytical philosophy and systematic theology. Kant is unrelentingly honest when grappling with the difficulty of relating divine and human freedom. This study, of Kant's theological struggle and legacy, goes to the heart of the problem in the modern reception of what the Christian tradition has affirmed about human freedom. As such, the book throws light on one of the defining fault-lines in modern theology and philosophy., Kant is a key thinker in the emergence of our contemporary sense of what 'human freedom' is, and why it is important. This book shows that important features of Kant's philosophy were forged out of difficulties he had in reconciling his belief in God as creator with the concept of human freedom.
