Foundations of natural right
Book • 2000
Fichte's Foundations of Natural Right, published in 1796-97, is a cornerstone of German idealism.
It explores the concept of right as a self-limitation of freedom for the sake of others' freedom.
Fichte derives this concept not from Kant's moral philosophy, but from an analysis of the self-positing activity of the 'I'.
The book significantly influenced subsequent political philosophy, particularly Hegel's work.
Its exploration of mutual recognition and its implications for property and the state remain relevant today.
