The emergence of German idealism

"In this volume, an international group of leading scholars shows how the various aspirations at work in the emergence of German Idealism - moral, religious, aesthetic, political, and epistemological - can be understood as both consummating and overcoming Kant's critical philosophy.

The volume also includes a chronology of the major works in the development of German Idealism, as well as a new translation of the seminal and still-controversial essay, "The Earliest System Programme of German Idealism.""--BOOK JACKET.
