The uncommon first edition of Michelet's first notable work, "A System of Philosophical Morals".

The noticeable German philosopher Karl Ludwig Michelet (1801 - 1893) was left-Hegelian philosopher who defended a political and religious liberalism that tended towards radicalism. He was an important student of Hegel and he was the co-editor of his works. He studied philosophy at the University of Berlin and became doctor here in 1824; in 1829, the year after he published the present work, he became professor of philosophy at the university and remained so until his death. He spent his entire career defending and continuing the doctrines of Hegel.

In his "System der philosophischen Moral", he deals with the principles of human actions and examines the ethical theory of the responsibility of these.
