Abstract/Summary:
In my dissertation I put forward a novel explanation and defense of Kant's claim that we cannot comprehend how freedom is possible. I explain the different kinds of freedom at work in Kant's writings, and I underscore the centrality of his notoriously problematic concept of transcendental freedom. I examine Kant's theoretical and practical arguments concerning this kind of freedom, and I explain what it is that we cannot comprehend about it.
