Practical Philosophy from Kant to Hegel

"This volume of cutting-edge research explores a topic that has often been overlooked in scholarship on post-Kantian philosophy and German Idealism: the development of practical philosophy between Kant and Hegel. Each of the thirteen essays examines a neglected philosopher or issue or a neglected aspect of a well-known philosopher or issue. Taken together, the essays provide an historically informed and philosophically nuanced picture of the development of post-Kantian practical philosophy. The essays discuss the following philosophers: Kant, Pistorius, Ulrich, Reinhold, Schmid, Maimon, Erhard, E. Reimarus, Fichte, Humboldt, Dalberg, F.

The issues discussed include: the empty formalism objection; the separation between right and morality; freedom and determinism; nihilism; the right to revolution; ideology; the limits of the liberal state"--
