  • Johann Friedrich Herbart

    Grandfather of Analytic Philosophy

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    Though little known today, Johann Friedrich Herbart was one of the leading philosophers of his age, the competitor of Schelling and Hegel. Although he was trained by Fichte, Herbart soon became a critic of the idealist tradition and developed a philosophy antithetical to it. His own philosophy was opposed to the idealist tradition in important respects: he defended a dualism between the factual ... Read more

  • The Romantic Imperative

    The Concept of Early German Romanticism

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    The Early Romantics met resistance from artists and academics alike in part because they defied the conventional wisdom that philosophy and the arts must be kept separate. Indeed, as the literary component of Romanticism has been studied and celebrated in recent years, its philosophical aspect has receded from view. This book, by one of the most respected scholars of the Romantic era, offers an ... Read more

  • German Idealism

    The Struggle against Subjectivism, 1781–1801

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    One of the very few accounts in English of German idealism, this ambitious work advances and revises our understanding of both the history and the thought of the classical period of German philosophy. As he traces the structure and evolution of idealism as a doctrine, Frederick Beiser exposes a strong objective, or realist, strain running from Kant to Hegel and identifies the crucial role of the ...

  • Early German Positivism

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    In Early German Positivism, Frederick C. Beiser explores a much neglected or forgotten period of the history of philosophy: the history of German positivism from 1860 to 1907. Almost all studies of positivism revolve around the Vienna Circle. Instead, this study covers positivism even before the first Vienna circle (1907). Beiser delves into figures almost completely forgotten in the German and ... Read more

  • The Berlin Antisemitism Controversy

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    After a long struggle, Jewish emancipation was formally completed in Germany in 1871, when Wilhelm I abolished religious discrimination across the entire Reich. Yet the very same decade witnessed a new wave of antisemitism, one more vicious and virulent than anything before. At its centre was what is known as ‘The Berlin Antisemitism Controversy’. How can this rise of antisemitism be explained ... Read more

  • The Philosophy of Georg Simmel

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    In this ground-breaking work, Frederick Beiser argues that Georg Simmel was one of the foremost yet overlooked philosophers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Whilst Simmel’s work was crucial in laying foundations for sociology, his several books, including The Philosophy of Money, were deeply philosophical. Simmel's doctorate was on Kant's philosophy and that his intellectual outlook was ... Read more

  • The Fate of Reason

    German Philosophy from Kant to Fichte

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    The Fate of Reason is the first general history devoted to the period between Kant and Fichte, one of the most revolutionary and fertile in modern philosophy. The philosophers of this time broke with the two central tenets of the modern Cartesian tradition: the authority of reason and the primacy of epistemology. They also witnessed the decline of the Aufklärung, the completion of Kant’s ... Read more

  • After Hegel

    German Philosophy, 1840–1900

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    Histories of German philosophy in the nineteenth century typically focus on its first half—when Hegel, idealism, and Romanticism dominated. By contrast, the remainder of the century, after Hegel's death, has been relatively neglected because it has been seen as a period of stagnation and decline. But Frederick Beiser argues that the second half of the century was in fact one of the most ... Read more

    by Frederick C. Beiser ...
    Frederick C. Beiser tells the story of the emergence of neo-Kantianism from the late 1790s until the 1880s. He focuses on neo-Kantianism before official or familiar neo-Kantianism, i.e., before the formation of the various schools of neo-Kantianism in the 1880s and 1890s (which included the Marburg school, the Southwestern school, and the Göttingen school). Beiser argues that the source of neo ... Read more
