System and Freedom in Kant and Fichte

<p>This book investigates various aspects of freedom as developed in the philosophical systems of Kant and Fichte.</p><p>Freedom both Kant and Fichte insist does not mean that we can choose or think independently from all rules or necessity but rather that we willingly accept a certain kind of submission under these rules. Therefore the conditions of our knowledge affect and inform our self-understanding our willing and the ways we justify our practical choices. The essays in this volume explore both philosophers’ conceptions of human freedom as they relate to art history politics and religion. They reveal how integrating freedom into a system of thought is crucial for our understanding of modern philosophy.</p><p><i>System and Freedom in Kant and Fichte </i>will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Kant modern philosophy and German Studies.</p>
