Although influential in his own day, Karl Leonhard Reinhold's
contribution to late 18th and early 19th century thought has long
been overshadowed by the towering presence of Immanuel Kant, the
thinker whose ideas he helped to interpret and disseminate. Today,
however, a more nuanced understanding of Reinhold's contribution to
post-Kantian thought is emerging. Apart from his exposition of
Kant's critical philosophy, which played a significant role in the
development of German idealism, Reinhold's role in the intellectual
movement of Enlightenment and his contributions to early linguistic
philosophy are now receiving scholarly attention. In the
English-speaking world, where few translations of his work have
been attempted, Reinhold has mostly been overlooked. This imbalance
is corrected in the present work: the first translation into
English of Reinhold's major work of philosophy, the New Theory of
the Human Capacity for Representation (1789). The translators
provide an overview of the main currents of thought which informed
Reinhold's philosophical project, as well as notes on his reading
of Kant and other important thinkers of Reinhold's day. A glossary
of key terms, a bibliography of scholarly work on Reinhold and
suggestions for further reading are also included.
