The collection features a series of essays exploring the philosophical contributions of Ernst Platner, particularly in relation to medical anthropology and his interactions with prominent thinkers like Marcus Herz and Immanuel Kant. It delves into Platner's place within the Wolffian philosophical tradition and examines his Enlightenment views, focusing on the concept of innate ideas and their implications for anthropology, epistemology, and metaphysics. The discussions highlight Platner's balance between empirical psychology and transcendental philosophy, as well as his critiques of David Hume and engagements with skepticism. The essays also analyze Platner's anthropological insights, his role in popular philosophy, and his exploration of unconscious perceptivity and metaphysical needs, particularly in his work "Quaestiones physiologicae." Additionally, the collection includes a forensic perspective on Platner's thoughts on madness and a discussion of pleasure in relation to his correspondence with Reinhold. The volume concludes with a biography of Platner and a research report on Kant's theodicy, reflecting on contemporary scholarship surrounding these philosophical themes.
