By Robert Greenberg
Greenberg tackles one in every of Kant’s such a lot tricky rules: that we will be the reason for our activities provided that the act of our will is freed from every little thing that makes up who we're as contributors. This includes that our loose will doesn't exist within the comparable time that comes with our individuality. the secret is an research of Kant’s thought of an motion, along with the need because the reason for the motion; so incorporated, the causal connection is àtemporal.

Could not be causally attributed to the remembered object or when it occurred in the first place. In such a case of conformity to a non-causal theory of memory, there might actually be two memories: the first memory would be the causal consequence of the concert, and the concert would itself have been a causal consequence of when the concert occurred. No philosophical theory of memory involving its seeming to the concert-goer as if she were perceiving the concert would account for this memory of the concert, since the memory would be an effect in an ordinary causation, the efficient cause of which would be the concert, and the effect would be the memory of the concert, without its being a memory of the concert through its seeming to the concert-goer as if she were remembering the concert.
