Fichte radicalized Kant's thought by arguing that human freedom not external reality must be the starting point of all systematic philosophy and in Foundations of Natural Right thought by many to be his most important work of political philosophy he applies his ideas to fundamental issues in political and legal philosophy covering such topics as civic freedom rights private property contracts family relations and the foundations of modern political organization."
