The book explores the profound impact of Plato's philosophy on the political theories of Kant, Hegel, and Fichte. It delves into how each philosopher interpreted and integrated Platonic ideas into their own frameworks, shaping modern political thought. Through a detailed analysis, the text highlights the continuities and divergences in their approaches, offering insights into the evolution of political philosophy from ancient to modern times. This examination reveals the enduring legacy of Plato's concepts in contemporary political discourse.

This is the first book in English on the early works of the German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814). It examines the transcendental theory of self and world from the writings of Fichte's most influential period (1794-1800), and considers in detail recently discovered lectures on the Foundations of Transcendental Philosophy. Combining incomparable erudition, sensitive readings of some of the most difficult of philosophical texts, clarity in exposition and an acute awareness of historical context, this book takes its place as the ideal introduction to Fichte's thought.
