Abstract
Abstract In Chapter 3 we explore a second key to the synchronic historicism of the German Idealists, which is found in Hegel’s account of the coexistence of different forms of legal responsibility in the Sattelzeit. This key is historicist in two senses. First, the different forms of responsibility and their characteristic successes and failures are related to epochal shifts in the evaluation of action. And second, this account of the coexistence of different forms of responsibility is related to the great German legal reforms of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, including the paradigmatic Prussian Allgemeines Landrecht (ALR) (to which we have already seen Kant responding). This chapter takes up Hegel’s theories of legal responsibility against the background of the Prussian ALR and other German legal reforms.
