The history of Continental philosophy is often conceived as being
represented by two major schools: German idealism and
phenomenology/existentialism. These two schools are frequently
juxtaposed so as to highlight their purported radical differences.
There is a commonly held view that an abrupt break occurred in the
nineteenth century, resulting in a disdainful rejection of idealism
in all its forms. This break is often located in the transition
from Hegel to Kierkegaard. The history of philosophy in the first
half of the nineteenth century has thus been read as a grand
confrontation between the overambitious rationalistic system of
Hegel and the devastating criticisms of it by Kierkegaard's
philosophy of existence. This work aims to undermine this popular
view of the radical break between idealism and existentialism by
means of a series of detailed studies in specific episodes of
European thought. As a whole, this book represents an important
attempt to demonstrate the long shadow cast by Kant and Hegel over
the subsequent history of European philosophy.
