Abstract
The authors of this volume, Jaeschke and Arndt, address the prolific period, in which Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel creatively interpreted Kant's work. The authors don't deal exclusively with central figures of the German idealism but introduce the reader to the renewed interest in Spinoza's philosophy, to the philosophical legacy of early romanticism, or to the so-called atheism dispute.
Thus, the book offers a complex picture of an epoch in which concepts influential to this day were formulated, e.g. the theory of mutual recognition, the concept of romantic irony or that of a philosophy of history.
