Hegel and Schelling on Freedom and Nature: Talk by Alison Stone

In this conference paper, Professor Stone considers the positions of Schelling and Hegel on the metaphysical issue of free will versus determinism. She first explores a way of viewing Schelling and Hegel as compatibilists, and then looks at some problems with this view. She discusses this with particular reference to Schelling’s and Hegel’s philosophies of nature.
