The idea of positive law – Immanuel Kant’s transcendental argument
The idea of positive law – Immanuel Kant’s transcendental argument

Summary/Abstract: In their philosophical projects that address the concept of law, Immanuel Kant, Johann G. Fichte, and Georg W. F. Hegel all employ transcendental argumentation to demonstrate the sovereignty of community and the existence of power. They do this in the attempt to conceptually ground the idea of freedom and reconcile it with the notion of coercion within the framework of the idea of positive law. This article focuses solely on the Kantian pro- ject, since the approaches of Fichte and Hegel take on a more speculative turn in addition to their transcendental form.
