Kant, Fichte, and the Legacy of Transcendental Idealism contains
ten new essays by leading and rising scholars from the United
States, Europe, and Asia who explore the historical development and
conceptual contours of Kantian and post-Kantian philosophy. The
collection begins with a set of comparative essays centered on
Kant's transcendental idealism, placing special stress on the
essentials of Kant's moral theory, the metaphysical outlook bound
up with it, and the conception of the legitimate role of religion
supported by it. The spotlight then shifts to the post-Kantian
period, in a series of essays exploring a variety of angles on
Fichte's pivotal role: his uncompromising constructivism, his
overarching conception of the philosophical project, and his
radical accounts of the nature of reason and the constitution of
meaning. In the remaining essays, the focus falls on German
idealism after Fichte, with particular attention to Jacobi's
critique of idealism as "nihilism," Schelling's development of an
idealistic philosophy of nature, and Hegel's development of an
all-encompassing idealistic "science of logic." The collection,
edited by Halla Kim and Steven Hoeltzel, will be of great value to
scholars interested in Kant, Fichte, German idealism, post-Kantian
philosophy, European philosophy, or the history of ideas.
