The Natural and Moral Community of Marriage in the Fichtean Natural Right of 1796/1797
Keywords:
right, family, Fichte, marriage.
Abstract
In this paper I try to establish the role which the family, understood as a moral community based on the development of the virtue and the tenderness, plays in the Fichtean theory of the State, conceived as a community of selfish citizens. In the first place, I reconstruct the theory of the right and the State, and the concentration of the three powers in the sovereign, the theory of the civil disobedience, as well as its problems and contradictions. Then I analyze the Fichtean argumentation to design the figure of the marriage as a community of virtuous persons. Finally, I try to show that the family has the function of compensate the deficiencies that the supposition of the universal egoism carries to the Fichtean theory of the State.Downloads
