Allen Wood investigates Kant’s conception of ethical theory, using it to develop a viable approach to the rights and moral duties of human beings.

This important new study offers a powerful exposition of the ethical theory underlying Hegel’s philosophy of society, politics, and history. Professor Wood shows how Hegel applies his theory to such topics as human rights, the justification of legal punishment, criteria of moral responsibility, and the authority of individual conscience. The book includes a critical discussion of Hegel’s treatment of other moral philosophers (especially Kant, Fichte and Fries), provides an account of the controversial concept of "ethical life," and shows the relation between the theory and Hegel
