On German Idealism

This selection of texts by Milan Sobotka dedicated to German idealism is an attempt at a synopsis of the life's work of our greatest expert on German classical philosophy. For him, the definitive philosophers were Immanuel Kant and, above all, G. W. F. Hegel. Their thought is captured here as the subject of disputes that gave rise to the distinctive tradition of German idealism, different from British empiricism on the one hand and Cartesian rationalism on the other. The book is intended for an educated public and will be indispensable for those interested in a deeper study of one of the most significant periods of modern philosophy.
