The System of Ethics was published at the height of
Fichte's academic career and marks the culmination of his
philosophical development in Jena. Much more than a treatise on
ethics narrowly construed, the System of
Ethics presents a unified synthesis of Fichte's core
philosophical ideas, including the principle I-hood, self-activity
and self-consciousness, and also contains his most detailed
treatment of action and agency. This volume brings together an
international group of leading scholars on Fichte, and is the first
of its kind in English to offer critical and interpretive
perspectives on this work, covering topics such as normativity,
belief, justification, desire, duty, and the ethical life. It will
be an essential guide for scholars wanting to deepen their
understanding of Fichte's ethical thought, as well as for those
interested in the history of ethics more broadly.

Autonomy is one of the central concepts of contemporary moral
thought, and Kant is often credited with being the inventor of
individual moral autonomy. But how and why did Kant develop this
notion? The Emergence of Autonomy in Kant's Moral Philosophy is the
first essay collection exclusively devoted to this topic. It traces
the emergence of autonomy from Kant's earliest writings to the
changes that he made to the concept in his mature works. The essays
offer a close historical and philosophical analysis of what
prompted Kant to develop his conception of autonomy, charting the
historical background which prompted his search, and thoroughly
analysing different stages of his writings in order to see which
element of autonomy was introduced at which point. The resulting
volume will be of interest to both scholars and students of Kantian
moral philosophy, as well as to anyone interested in the subject of
autonomy.
