- Double-weighted statement
- This comprehensive monograph provides a systematic reconstruction and appraisal of central themes in Kant and Hegel. By building an extended case for a deep connection between the notions of �life� and �freedom�, the book makes substantial contributions to the study of German Idealism and to ongoing philosophical debates. The book not only provides detailed analyses of texts by Kant and Hegel but also contributes to current discussions that have emerged around Classical German Philosophy in recent years regarding such central notions as autonomy, normativity, recognition, and second nature.

- English abstract
- This book develops three interrelated ways in which freedom and life are essentially connected: (1) Freedom can be educated only in living beings. (2) To understand the form of freedom, we must understand the form of life. (3) In order to understand the reality of freedom, we must understand the extent to which freedom gains a life of its own kind. In developing these three ideas, the book focuses on two key authors: Kant and Hegel. Drawing on these central figures in Classical German Philosophy, the book contributes to ongoing philosophical debates around autonomy, normativity, recognition and ‘second nature’.
