Fichte's Ethics (Paperback)

One of Fichte's most important ideas - that nature can place limits
on our ability to govern ourselves, and that anyone who values
autonomy is thereby committed to the value of basic research and of
the development of autonomy-enhancing technologies - has received
little attention in the interpretative literature on Fichte, and
has little currency in contemporary ethics. This volume aims to
address both deficits. Beginning from a reconstruction of Fichte's
theory of rational agency, this volume examines his arguments for
the thesis that rational agency must have two constitutive ends:
substantive and formal independence. It argues for a novel
interpretation of Fichte's conception of substantive independence,
and shows how Fichte's account of moral duties is derived from the
end of substantive independence on that conception. It also argues
for a new interpretation of Fichte's conception of formal
independence, and explains why the usual understanding of this end
as providing direct guidance for action must be mistaken. It
encompasses a systematic reconstruction of Fichte's first-order
claims in normative ethics and the philosophy of right.
