Sally Sedgwick Bücher

The period from Kant to Hegel is one of the most intense and rigorous in modern philosophy. The central problem at the heart of it was the development of a new standard of theoretical reflection and of the principle of rationality itself. The essays in this volume consider both the development of Kant's system of transcendental idealism in the three Critiques, the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science, and the Opus Postumum, as well as the reception and transformation of that idealism in the work of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel.

This guide offers an insightful exploration of Kant's practical philosophy, making it an essential resource for those seeking to understand his ethical framework and its implications. It delves into key concepts, providing clarity on Kant's moral theories and their relevance to contemporary philosophical discussions. With a focus on practical applications, this work serves as a comprehensive introduction for both students and enthusiasts of Kantian thought.

Sally Sedgwick explores Hegel's critique of Kant's theoretical philosophy, presenting it as a compelling alternative to Kant's conception of cognition.

This fresh account delves into the nuances of Hegel's arguments and their implications for understanding idealism.
