This collection of essays provides an exemplary overview of the diversity and relevance of
current scholarship on German Idealism. The importance of German Idealism for contemporary
philosophy has received growing attention and acknowledgment throughout competing fields of
contemporary philosophy. Part of the growing interest rests on the claim that the works of Kant
Fichte Schelling Hegel remain of considerable interest for cultural studies sociology
theology aesthetics and other areas of interest. In the domain of philosophy the renaissance
of innovative readings of German Idealism has taken scholarly debates beyond merely antiquarian
perspectives. This renaissance has been a major factor of current efforts to bridge the gap
between so-called ¿analytic¿ and so-called ¿continental¿ philosophy. The volume provides a
selection of well-chosen examples of readings that contribute to systematic treatments of
philosophical problems. It contains (among others) contributions by Markus Gabriel Robert
Pippin Anders Moe Rasmussen Sebastian Rödl.
