Hegel's Critique of Fichte in the 1802/3 Essay on Natural Right

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper provides a reconstruction and critical assessment of Hegel’s
critique of Fichte’s political philosophy in his 1802/3 essay On the Scientific Ways
of Treating Natural Right. I argue that Hegel’s critique, while not entirely successful,
raises a serious problem for Fichte’s political philosophy as presented in the 1796/7
Foundations of Natural Right.
