Opis

This book argues that the development of German philosophy from Kant, through post-Kantian German Idealism, to the thought of Franz Rosenzweig, was largely driven by the perceived promise of Kant's philosophy for solving the conflict of reason, but also by its perceived shortcomings in solving this conflict.

Recenzje

The brief summary here does not come close to doing justice to Nisenbaum's rich and provocative book, nor does it capture the deep commitment to the importance of philosophy that she clearly displays ... [it] will be of great value to anyone interested in the period, or in the fate of metaphysics more broadly.
