Fichte on social reproduction and the division of labour
Two deductions of right in early post-Kantianism
This paper uses a distinction drawn from the Kantian legal theorist Paul Johann Anselm Feuerbach to categorize two approaches to analysing the concept of right, each of which is represented by various figures in early post-Kantianism. Feuerbach’s distinction holds that there were two main strategies for conceiving of the relation between right and morality and the structure of rights. He refers to these two conceptions as ‘relative’ and ‘absolute…
Introduction to Salomon Maimon’s “On the First Grounds of Natural Right” (1795)
In what follows we introduce and present a translation of Salomon Maimon’s “On the First Grounds of Natural Right” (1795). To begin, we briefly discuss textual issues surrounding the essay. We then focus on the text’s philosophical themes, especially the relation between morality, coercive power, and right, as well as its reception

According to Hegel’s conception, the classical communitarian ideal threatens a form of nihilism: the…
Freedom, Coercion, and the Relation of Right
Hegel's social and political philosophy
This article discusses three topics that have been the subject of debate in recent scholarship on Hegel's social and political philosophy: first, the relevance of Hegel's systematic metaphysics for interpreting Hegel's social and political writings; second, the relation between recognition (Anerkennung), social institutions, and rational agency; and third, the connection between the constellation of institutions and norms that Hegel calls "ethica…
Recognition, Freedom, and the Self in Fichte's Foundations of Natural Right
In this paper I present an interpretation of J. G. Fichte's transcendental argument for the necessity of mutual recognition (Anerkennung) in Foundations of Natural Right. Fichte's argument purports to show that, as a condition of the possibility of self-consciousness, we must take ourselves to stand in relations of mutual recognition with other agents like ourselves. After reconstructing the steps of Fichte's argument, I present what I call the ‘…
