This volume expands the concept and role of the schema, with three goals in mind: 1) to outline the continuing issues in the schema concept as the legacy of Kant s concept and analysis, 2) to show that Kant s challenges resulted in successful but truncated views of the schema and its functions, 3) to reconstruct Otto Selz s schema concept by proposing an alternative. The basis and scope of Selz s schema were intended to yield a more complete follow-up to Kant s challenges. These had emerged out of his unresolved view of the schema as knowledge, on one hand, and thought, on the other....

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...

Contemporary interest in realism and naturalism, emerging under the banner of speculative or new realism, has prompted continentally-trained philosophers to consider a number of texts from the canon of analytic philosophy. The philosophy of Wilfrid Sellars, in particular, has proven remarkably able to offer a contemporary re-formulation of traditional "continental" concerns that is amenable to realist and rationalist considerations, and serves as an accessible entry point into the Anglo-American tradition for continental philosophers. With the aim of appraising this fertile theoretical...

2017 Reprint of Circa 1920 Edition Published by Charles H. Kerr.  Although delivered as a speech, this paper remained unpublished until after Marx's death.  It reads like a condensed version of Capital Volume 1, and contains Marx's essential arguments about the workings of capital.  Those wanted to avoid reading the entirety of Capital Volume 1 will find an excellent introduction to Marx's ideas in this short publication.

One difference between the economic system in which we live and the systems of the past is that the former does not claim to be perfect. It merely denies the existence of alternatives. For the first time, power does not manifest its qualities, but simply claims that its nature is inevitable. Diego Fusaro’s new essay is a strong rejection, like a whiplash, of the rhetorical claim that reality is an immutable situation and of the habit of accepting it lying down instead of building a better one. This rhetoric gives rise to the principal commandment of Market Monotheism: “thou...
