S.J. McGrath (EDT), Joseph Carew (EDT) Rethinking German Idealism

Annotation

The 'death' of German Idealism has been decriedinnumerable times since its revolutionary inception, whether it be by the 19th-centurycritique of Western metaphysics, phenomenology, contemporary French philosophy,or analytic philosophy. Yet in the face of two hundred years ofsustained, extremely rigorous attempts to leave behind its legacy, German Idealismhas resisted its philosophical death sentence. Forthis exact reason it is timely ask: What remains of GermanIdealism? In what ways does its fundamental concepts and texts still speak tous? Drawingtogether new and established voices from scholars in Kant, Fichte, Hegel,and Schelling, this volume offers a fresh look on this time-honouredtradition. It uses myriad of recently developed conceptual tools to present new and challenging theories of its now canonical figures.
