Internationales Jahrbuch des Deutschen Idealismus / International... / Metaphysik / Metaphysics

German Idealism is one of the most important and momentous epochs in modern philosophy. Agreement on the concept of philosophy and on what philosophical theory formation is capable of achieving was largely shaped - and its continued development ensured to this day - by systematic philosophy on foundations laid by Kant. Both in German-speaking countries and abroad, the volume of research on German Idealism hasincreased remarkably in recent decades. The intensity of exploration has been particularly notable in Anglo-American regions. The International Yearbook of German Idealism is a response to this development.It gives international research on German Idealism a forum for discussion and provides an international framework for comparative investigation of theories and problems relating to German Idealism. It also addresses topics central to current philosophical debates.

Klappentext

Kant's critical philosophy marks the end of a two-thousand year tradition of metaphysics. Against this older tradition, Kant proposes a new metaphysics of knowledge and human freedom with the autonomy of the subject as its principle. Led by the principle of subjectivity, it attempts to obtain a unified understanding of the whole world organized into a system of reason. In this way, the idea of classical metaphysics receives a new controversial interpretation still discussed today. In twelve contributions, the fifth volume of the Yearbook pursues the different forms of groundingmetaphysics after Kant.
