Michelle Kosch explores free will and ethics in the works of Kant, Schelling, and Kierkegaard, aiming to deepen the understanding of German idealism and contextualize Kierkegaard's philosophy. This book is intended for scholars and students interested in the history of philosophy and intellectual history.
Michelle Kosch offers a systematic, historically informed reconstruction of the ethical theory of the great German Idealist J. G. Fichte (1762-1814). Central to Fichte's theory are his accounts of rational agency and autonomy. Kosch highlights the theory's very substantial potential for contribution to ethics today.
