Un tentativo di salvare il libero arbitrio. Il pragmatismo kantiano di Jürgen Habermas

According to Jür-gen Habermas, the debate between freedom and determinism arises from the mistaken notion that con-sciousness is a stable and distinct entity that can be identified in a biological substrate. The difficulties in finding such a substrate then create a vortex in which both the idea of freedom and that of responsibility are lost, opening the door to either epiphenomenalism or attempts at reductionism. Habermas tries to de-fend the place of free will by means of a Kantian pragmatism in which it is possible to reconcile freedom and determinism as two different, complementary and unavoidable ontologies
