Twentieth century continental thinkers such as Bergson, Levinas and
Jonas have brought fresh and renewed attentions to Jewish ethics,
yet it still remains fairly low profile in the Anglophone academic
world. This collection of critical essays brings together the work
of established and up-and-coming scholars from Israel, the United
States, and around the world on the topic of Jewish religious and
philosophical ethics. The chapters are broken into three main
sections - Rabbinics, Philosophy, and Contemporary Challenges. The
authors address, using a variety of research strategies, the work
of both major and lesser-known figures in historical Jewish
religious and philosophical traditions. The book discusses a wide
variety of topics related to Jewish ethics, including "ethics and
the Mishnah," "Afro Jewish ethics," "Jewish historiographical
ethics," as well as the conceptual/philosophical foundations of the
law and virtues in the work of Martin Buber, Hermann Cohen, and
Baruch Spinoza.The volume closes with four contributions on
present-day frontiers in Jewish ethics. As the first book to focus
on the nature, scope and ramifications of the Jewish ethics at work
in religious and philosophical contexts, this book will be of great
interest to anyone studying Jewish Studies, Philosophy and
Religion.
This book provides a close examination of Kant's and Fichte's
idealisms, as well as the positions of their predecessors and
successors, in order to isolate and evaluate various essential
elements of transcendental inquiry. The authors examine Kant's and
Fichte's contributions to transcendental idealism, transcendental
arguments as a distinctive form of reasoning, and the
metaphysically more ambitious forms of idealism developed by
philosophers such as Schelling, Hegel, and Cohen. The book also
addresses some of the most acute criticisms levelled against
transcendental philosophy and explores more recent developments of
the transcendental approach in the form of contemporary discourse
ethics, especially as represented by Habermas and Apel. The authors
also explore the contributions of a number of other important
philosophers, including Husserl, Heidegger, Logstrup, Peirce, and
Putnam.

The notion of qi/gi ( ) is one of the most pervasive notions found
within the various areas of the East Asian intellectual and
cultural traditions. While the pervasiveness of the notion provides
us with an opportunity to observe the commonalities amongst the
East Asian intellectual and cultural traditions, it also allows us
to observe the differences. This book focuses more on understanding
the different meanings and logics that the notion of qi/gi has
acquired within the East Asian traditions for the purpose of
understanding the diversity of these traditions. This volume begins
to fulfill this task by inquiring into how the notion was
understood by traditional Korean philosophers, in addition to
investigating how the notion was understood by traditional Chinese
philosophers.
Halla Kim explores the leading themes in Kant's philosophical
ethics from a structural-methodological point of view to highlight
the activities of reason vis-a-vis the blind forces of brute
nature. Basing the study on Kant's short, but monumental,
Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Kim also draws on other
major writings by Kant and his critics. Kim shows that
philosophical ethics, as Kant conceived it, must capture the gist
of the ineluctable, inescapable, and irreducible freedom we strive
to exemplify in our practical lives. Viewed this way, the moral law
is none other than the law of the will determining itself. It is
the law of the self-activity of the will. Contending that the
concepts and doctrines in Kant's ethics should be understood as an
ethics of the self-activity of the will, Kim argues that the
categorical imperative is the particular way this moral law is
addressed to finite rational beings. Kant and the Foundations of
Morality provides new perspective on the philosopher's thought to
benefit studies of eighteenth-century philosophy, epistemology,
modern philosophy, moral theory, moral philosophy, and ethics.
Kant, Fichte, and the Legacy of Transcendental Idealism contains
ten new essays by leading and rising scholars from the United
States, Europe, and Asia who explore the historical development and
conceptual contours of Kantian and post-Kantian philosophy. The
collection begins with a set of comparative essays centered on
Kant's transcendental idealism, placing special stress on the
essentials of Kant's moral theory, the metaphysical outlook bound
up with it, and the conception of the legitimate role of religion
supported by it. The spotlight then shifts to the post-Kantian
period, in a series of essays exploring a variety of angles on
Fichte's pivotal role: his uncompromising constructivism, his
overarching conception of the philosophical project, and his
radical accounts of the nature of reason and the constitution of
meaning. In the remaining essays, the focus falls on German
idealism after Fichte, with particular attention to Jacobi's
critique of idealism as "nihilism," Schelling's development of an
idealistic philosophy of nature, and Hegel's development of an
all-encompassing idealistic "science of logic." The collection,
edited by Halla Kim and Steven Hoeltzel, will be of great value to
scholars interested in Kant, Fichte, German idealism, post-Kantian
philosophy, European philosophy, or the history of ideas.
