We can establish empirical criteria for free actions, and investigate human actions on the presupposition we are free.

Our decisions need not be seen as resting on procedures that are merely instrumental in making judgments that are reliably truth-tracking. The procedures might be more directly related than that to truths about what is right or good, or about what we ought to do, or to principles that tell us what is true about these matters. And I have no metaphysical theory about the truth-conditions of such truths, except to say that as objective truths, they must be independent of the attitudes, decisions or actions that they are supposed to justify or for which they are to offer reasons.

It is both theoretically mistaken and morally wrong to regard others as objects of investigation rather than partners in free rational communication.

Kant considers belief in God and immortality to be items of "faith" because he relates faith to the pursuit of ends - in this case, the highest good.

The moral law is simply the way we think our own freedom as self-determination.

Sometimes when a philosopher's views are widely rejected by the world, the fault is not with the philosopher but with the world.

It is a cause of shame to any member of the human race to be a member of the same species some of whose members could vote for any candidate for president that has been offered by the Republican party. Such people seem to be motivated only by short-sighted greed, ignorance, fear and hatred.
