This book intends to broaden the study of idealism beyond its
simplistic characterizations in contemporary philosophy. After
idealist stances have practically disappeared from the mental
landscape in the last hundred years, and the term "idealism" has
itself become a sort of philosophical anathema, continental
philosophy was, first, plunged into one of its deepest crises of
truth, culminating in postmodernism, and then, the 21st century
ushered in a new era of realism. Against this background, the
volume gathers a number of renowned philosophers, among them Slavoj
Zizek, Robert B. Pippin, Mladen Dolar, Sebastian Roedl, Paul
Redding, Isabelle Thomas-Fogiel, James I. Porter, and others, in
order to address the issue as to what exactly has been lost with
the retreat of idealism, and what kind of idealism could still be
rehabilitated in the present day. The contributions will both
provide historical studies on idealism, pointing out the little
known, overlooked, and surprising instances of idealist impulses,
and set out to develop new perspectives and possibilities for a
contemporary idealism. The appeal of the book lies in the fact that
it defends a philosophical concept that has been increasingly under
attack and thus contributes to an ongoing debate in ontology.
