Practical Philosophy from Kant to Hegel

Scholarship on Kant''s practical philosophy has often overlooked its reception in the early days of post-Kantian philosophy and German Idealism. This volume of new essays illuminates that reception and how it informed the development of practical philosophy between Kant and Hegel. The essays discuss in addition to Kant Hegel and Fichte relatively little-known thinkers such as Pistorius Ulrich Maimon Erhard E. Reimarus Reinhold Jacobi F. Schlegel Humboldt Dalberg Gentz Rehberg and Mser. Issues discussed include the empty formalism objection the separation between right and morality freedom and determinism nihilism the right to revolution ideology and the limits of the liberal state. Taken together the essays provide an historically informed and philosophically nuanced picture of the development of post-Kantian practical philosophy.
