Challenges to German Idealism: Schelling, Fichte and Kant [Hardcover]

This book offers an important reappraisal of Schelling's philosophy and his relationship to German Idealism. Focusing on Schelling's self-critique in early identity philosophy the author rejects those criticisms of Schelling made by both Hegel and Heidegger. This work significantly redraws the boundaries of metaphysical thinking, arguing for a dialogue between rational philosophy, mythology and cosmology.Introduction: From the Logic to the Logogrif of Experience Kant's Transcendental Deduction: The Conceptual Reconstruction of Experience From Determinant to Reflective Judgement: The Normalisation of Experience Fichte's will-to-freedom: The Appropriation of Experience SCHELLING'S NOTION OF EXPERIENCE: INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Identity Philosophy: Its Critique and its Criticism Schelling's Dynamic Account of the Absolute and Finitude Schelling's Conception of the Self The Deities of Samothrace: Towards Schellings' Logogriphike Conclusion: Helmet and Pomegranate Abbreviations Select BibliographyKYRIAKI GOUDELI is a Lecturer in Philosophy and Social Theory at Warwick University, Coventry, England.
