| Summary: | Schleiermacher's Berlin Academy lecture took issue with the Kantian-Fichtian view of the radical difference between natural law and moral law, arguing that moral law, like natural law, is fundamentally descriptive of being, not prescriptive and independent of any embodiment in moral action. This essay seeks to generalize Schleiermacher's argument that a teleological premise underlies and provides whatever force is possessed by Kant's abstract imperative into an argument for the presence of a teleological premise in any normative ethic. Finally it summarizes and comments on Schleiermacher's remarkable outline of biological evolution. |
