Steinvorth argues that self-regulation is the common property of all being, that we can talk of an increase or escalation of self-regulation in the evolution of being, and that self-regulation becomes self-determination in man. Considering objections to this view related to questions of free will, consciousness, the naturalistic fallacy, and teleology, he draws on cybernetics, dual process theory, physical cosmology, and Leibniz's ("demiurgic") idea of measuring the goodness of a world by the number of possibilities opened up by the world. To test his approach and show its political relevance, he applies it to political liberalism. Ulrich Steinvorth is Professor Emeritus at the University of Hamburg, Germany, and livesin the United States. He has published numerous books and articles on political philosophy, ethics, and metaphysics in German, English, and French, and has taught philosophy at universities in Germany, France, Turkey, Japan, China, and the USA. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aOntology 606 $aAnalysis (Philosophy) 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aOntology 606 $aAnalytic Philosophy 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 0$aOntology. 615 0$aAnalysis (Philosophy) 615 14$aMetaphysics. 615 24$aOntology. 615 24$aAnalytic Philosophy. 676 $a146.4 676 $a110 700 $aSteinvorth$b Ulrich$0152105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484903703321 996 $aA plea for naturalistic metaphysics$91893560 997 $aUNINA
