Fichte's Moral Philosophy
Owen Ware
Reviews and Awards
"Fichte's Moral Philosophy is a major contribution not just to Fichte scholarship but to normative ethical theory as such. Specialists will be impressed by Ware's meticulous scholarship and familiarity with all the relevant primary and secondary literature, as well as by his judicious engagement with (as well as anticipation of) opposing interpretations of Fichte's moral philosophy...It is a rare pleasure to encounter a treatise as well written, carefully argued, and broadly informed as this landmark contribution to both Fichte studies and ethical theory." -- Daniel Breazeale, University of Kentucky, Ethics
"Owen Ware's book...is a first-class contribution to the Fichte scholarship...It will be a staple of the conversation on Fichte for years to come." -- Rory Lawrence Phillips, University College London, Philosophy
"This is simply an exceptional book, clearly written and argued and a delight to read. It is required reading for anyone interested in German Idealism or in normative ethics in general." -- Jeffery Kinlaw, McMurry University, Review of Metaphysics
"Ware has opened a line of interpretation that presents a less austere Fichte, a Fichte for whom we are fully embodied and situated in a world. The ethics of wholeness Ware emphasizes will be congenial to many contemporary philosophers. Fichte's Moral Philosophy should become a key text in coming years, and I look forward to seeing how Fichte scholarship builds upon this work." -- Jane Dryden, Mount Allison University, Symposium
