Zusatztext 'The appearance of this collection is a major event in the study of nineteenth century philosophy. ? [T]he volume's achievement is impressive! and twofold: (1) for the first time! it brings together a representative collection of Neokantian texts in English! and (2) it offers translations of essential material that has been unavailable to English readers. ? It is probably the biggest step forward for the understanding of Neokantianism in the Anglophone world to date.' - Garrett Zantow Bredeson! Studia Phaenomenologica'Every article in this timely collection is extremely interesting. It makes the work of a key group of German philosophers more widely accessible! thus supporting the growing revival of philosophical interest in the neo-Kantian movement. The book demonstrates that while elements of our contemporary thinking on Kant and Hegel were anticipated by the neo-Kantians! other philosophical opportunities are still to be discovered.' - Pierre Keller! University of California! Riverside! USA'An indispensable resource for teaching neo-Kantianism! the most important movement in late nineteenth-century German philosophy. It fills a longstanding gap in the history of late modern philosophy available to English-speaking readers. The new translations are admirably clear! and the introductions to each section are written with an eye to making the selections accessible to a general philosophical audience.' - Scott Edgar!
