Abstract

The chapter begins by presenting how contemporary developments in neuroscience and cognitive science show several links to Kant's work, and more specificallyhow the predictive mind hypothesis can be seen as having its roots in the Kantian project.Following these initial considerations, the chapter next describes the renewed examination of the role of emotions in Kant's ethics, in order to propose that the Kantian system includes amediate control over the emotional landscape.
