Cambridge University Press Fichte Addresses to the German Nation Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought
Book SynopsisThis is the first translation of Fichte's addresses to the German nation for almost 100 years. The series of 14 speeches, delivered whilst Berlin was under French occupation after Prussia's disastrous defeat at the Battle of Jena in 1806, is widely regarded as a founding document of German nationalism, celebrated and reviled in equal measure. Fichte's account of the distinctiveness of the German people and his belief in the native superiority of its culture helped to shape German national identity throughout the nineteenth century and beyond. With an extensive introduction that puts Fichte's argument in its intellectual and historical context, this edition brings an important and seminal work to a modern readership. All of the usual series features are provided, including notes for further reading, chronology, and brief biographies of key individuals.Table of ContentsForeword; Acknowledgements; Introduction; Chronology; Notes on the text and translation; Suggestions for further reading; Abbreviations; Addresses to the German Nation; Notes; Glossary.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to Kierkegaard
Book SynopsisThis Companion probes the depth of Kierkegaard's thought to reveal its distinctive subtlety. Topics covered include Kierkegaard's views on art and religion, ethics and psychology, theology and politics, knowledge and virtue.Trade Review'… for the most part, the picture that is painted is of a remarkably postmodern thinker. Long before there was even a modernism to be post, Kierkegaard, it seems, recognised that the single author was dead, and that autonomous texts had taken their place. This is an excellent collection …'.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to Fichte
Book SynopsisJohann Gottlieb Fichte (17621814) was the founding figure of the philosophical movement known as German idealism, a branch of thought which grew out of Kant''s critical philosophy. Fichte''s work formed the crucial link between eighteenth-century Enlightenment thought and philosophical, as well as literary, Romanticism. Some of his ideas also foreshadow later nineteenth- and twentieth-century developments in philosophy and in political thought, including existentialism, nationalism and socialism. This volume offers essays on all the major aspects of Fichte''s philosophy, ranging from the successive versions of his foundational philosophical science or Wissenschaftslehre, through his ethical and political thought, to his philosophies of history and religion. All the main stages of Fichte''s philosophical career and development are charted, and his ideas are placed in their historical and intellectual context. New readers will find this the most convenient and accessible guide to Fichte Table of ContentsIntroduction Günter Zöller; 1. From Kant to Fichte Wayne M. Martin; 2. Fichte and the French Revolution Frederick Beiser; 3. Fichte's explanation of the dynamic structure of consciousness in the 1794–5 Wissenschaftslehre Christian Klotz; 4. The Wissenschaftslehre of 1796–9 (nova methodo) Daniel Breazeale; 5. Fichte's later presentations of the Wissenschaftslehre Günter Zöller; 6. Fichte's philosophy of right and ethics Allen W. Wood; 7.

Cambridge University Press Anne Conway Ancient Modern Phil The Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy
Book SynopsisAnne Conway was an extraordinary figure in a remarkable age. Her mastery of the intricate doctrines of the Lurianic Kabbalah, her authorship of a treatise criticising the philosophy of Descartes, Hobbes, and Spinoza, and her scandalous conversion to the despised sect of Quakers indicate a strength of character and independence of mind wholly unexpected (and unwanted) in a woman at the time. Translated for the first time into modern English, her Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy is the most interesting and original philosophical work written by a woman in the seventeenth century. Her radical and unorthodox ideas are important not only because they anticipated the more tolerant, ecumenical, and optimistic philosophy of the Enlightenment, but also because of their influence on Leibniz. This fully annotated edition includes an introduction which places Conway in her historical and philosophical contexts, together with a chronology of her life and a bibliography.Trade Review"This is a book of historical and philosophical importance...Coudert and Corse have presented Conway's treatise in a very readable translation...they make clear Conway's remarkable achievement in an age in which women were rarely found in the circles of philosophical debate." The Eighteenth CenturyTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; Chronology; Further reading; Note on the text; The Principles of the Most ancient and Modern Philosophy; Unpublished Preface by Henry More; Published preface; God and his divine attributes; Index.

Cambridge University Press Ideals as Interests in Hobbess Leviathan
Book SynopsisS. A. Lloyd proposes a radically new interpretation of Hobbes's Leviathan that shows transcendent interests - interests that override the fear of death - to be crucial to both Hobbes's analysis of social disorder and his proposed remedy to it.Trade Review"...refreshingly original...a brilliant reading of Hobbes, rigorously argued and tightly written. It deserves to revolutionize the study of Hobbes' political theory." International Studies in Philosophy"For those who want to understand what Hobbes's political theory is, this will be the book to consult." Alan Donagan, California Institute of Technology"The Hobbes scholarship is admirable, the writing is clear, and the quality of argument is uniformly high. Most importantly, Lloyd presents a genuinely original interpretation of Hobbes and meticulously constructs a very plausible argument in support of that interpretation." Greg Kavka, University of California, Irvine"A rich and powerful book with an extremely intriguing thesis." Choice"...this is a brilliant reading of Hobbes, rigorously argued and tightly written. It deserves to revolutionize the study of Hobbes' political theory." International Studies in PhilosophyTable of ContentsAcknowledgments; A note on references; Introduction; 1. The standard philosophical interpretation; 2. Hobbes's compositive reconstruction, phase one: identification of the principle of political obligation; 3.
