More DescriptionThis is the first English translation of Friedrich Schleiermacher's mature ethical theory. Situated between the better-known positions of Kant and Hegel, Schleiermacher's ethics represents an under-explored and singular option within the rich and creative tradition of German idealism.

This edition also includes a historical and philosophical introduction and notes on further reading.
