The movement of German idealism culminates in the revelation of the
re? ective boundaries of theoretical knowledge. The history of the
most important intellectual developments thereafter could be
described, following a recent remark of Jurgen Habermas, as a his-
1 tory of the de-transcendentalization of the cognizing subject. In
this context, the epistemological interpretation proposed in this
book must be speci? cally understood. Examining the problem of
knowledge in the development of German idealism, it aims not at an
epistem- ogy of the Cartesian type, and even less at a formal
logical analysis of knowledge which lacks the re? ective element of
the devices it employs as "the search for the immutable structures
within which knowledge, 2 life, and culture must be contained. "
These "structures" do not only condition the process of knowledge,
they are themselves conditioned. There is thus an unsurpassable
circle in this process, a circle which German idealism brings to
the surface and profoundly scrutinizes. Therefore, the task is to
re? ectively account for the historical horizons in which cognition
arises (being ultimately thereupon dependent), instead of searching
for an ultimate Archimedean point for its deduction. Rather than
searching for inexplicably transc- dental concepts, this argument
points to their determination from within a given Lebenswelt. It
does not renounce but rather rede? nes 3 objectivity, by seeing the
subject as a coming-to-know-itself totality. 1 J. Habermas,
Wahrheit und Rechtfertigung. Philosophische Aufsatze (Frankfurt a.
M.: Suhrkamp, 1999), p. 186."
