Fichte is a necessary step to both Hegel and Marx.

It would be nice, wouldn't it? if we could get comfortable about the problem of freedom. Kant thinks that we can't.

Consequentialist theories begin with a very simple and undoubtedly valid point: Every action aims at a future end, and is seen as a means to it.

It is both theoretically mistaken and morally wrong to regard others as objects of investigation rather than partners in free rational communication.

Sometimes when a philosopher's views are widely rejected by the world, the fault is not with the philosopher but with the world.

We can't coherently deny, or even decline to affirm, that we are free.

We cannot predict the effects of our actions, especially our collective actions over generations or centuries, to use instrumental reasoning toward these big final ends to tell us what we ought to do.
