Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume provides an analysis of ethical principles based upon "determinism" - a perspective that Schleiermacher defines and elaborates upon in his work, "On Freedom". This early treatise (1790-92) is a seminal work for Schleiermacher's career and a significant contribution to the study of ethics. The introductory essay traces the history of the text, discusses the philosophical background, and surveys his associated writings. It also provides a comprehensive summary of the treatise's arguments and comments on related secondary literature.
