We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume The Idea of the Good in Kant and Hegel, edited by Goran Vranešević (University of Ljubljana Press, 2024).
The volume is available in open access at this link.
From the publisher’s website:
The Idea of the Good in Kant and Hegel is the first book to provide a comprehensive treatment of the good as a central concept in classical German philosophy, while at the same time opening up areas of interest that have not traditionally been associated with this subject. The contributors to this volume, eminent scholars in fields related to the topic, engage with current debates on Hegel, Kant, morality, and the fundamental status of the good. They offer a systematic introduction to the philosophical implications of the concept of the good, but more importantly, they expand the horizon of possible interpretations and encourage critical reflection.
