Michelle Kosch's book traces a complex of issues surrounding moral
agency--how is moral responsibility consistent with the possibility
of theoretical explanation? is moral agency essentially rational
agency? can autonomy be the foundation of ethics?--from Kant
through Schelling to Kierkegaard. There are two complementary
projects here. The first is to clarify the contours of German
idealism as a philosophical movement by examining the motivations
not only of its beginning, but also of its end. In tracing the
motivations for the transition to mid-19th century post-idealism to
Schelling's middle and late periods and, ultimately, back to a
problem originally presented in Kant, it shows the causes of the
demise of that movement to be the same as the causes of its rise.
In the process it presents the most detailed discussion to date of
the moral psychology and moral epistemology of Schelling's work
after 1809.
The second project - which is simply the first viewed from a
different angle--is to trace the sources of Kierkegaard's theory of
agency and his criticism of philosophical ethics to this same
complex of issues in Kant and post-Kantian idealism. In the
process, Kosch argues that Schelling's influence on Kierkegaard was
greater than has been thought, and builds a new understanding of
Kierkegaard's project in his pseudonymous works on the basis of
this revised picture of their historical background. It is one that
uncovers much of interest and relevance to contemporary debates.
