German Idealism: An Anthology and Guide

German Idealism: An Anthology and Guide Paperback - 2007

by Brian O'Connor (Editor); Georg Mohr (Editor)


From the publisher

Beginning with the publication of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and extending through to Hegel's death, the period known as German Idealism signaled the end of an epoch of rationalism, empiricism, and enlightenment--and the beginning of a new "critical" period of philosophy. The most comprehensive anthology of this vital tradition to date, German Idealism brings together an expansive selection of readings from the tradition's major figures like Kant, Hegel, Fichte, and Schelling. Arranged thematically into sections on topics such as the relationships between self and knowledge, freedom and morality, law and state, and nature and science, to name a few, German Idealism discloses many of the contrasts that helped to differentiate each of the tradition's key thinkers. Each expertly translated text comes with an editorial introduction to guide readers through many of the problems the texts specifically deal with, as well as their historical context. The most accessible and expansive introduction to German Idealism ever, this anthology will be hailed by instructors and scholars as the most dependable guide to the tradition for years to come.
