Series Editor’s Preface
The era of German Idealism stands alongside ancient Greece and the French
Enlightenment as one of the most fruitful and influential periods in the
history of philosophy. Beginning with the publication of Kant’s Critique
of Pure Reason in 1781 and ending about ten years after Hegel’s death in
1831, the period of “classical German philosophy” transformed whole fields
of philosophical endeavor. The intellectual energy of this movement is still
verymuchaliveincontemporaryphilosophy;thephilosophersofthatperiod
continue to inform our thinking and spark debates of interpretation.
Afteraperiodofneglectasaresultoftheearlyanalyticphilosophers’rejec-
tion of idealism, interest in the field has grown exponentially in recent years.
Indeed, the study of German Idealism has perhaps never been more active in
the English-speaking world than it is today. Many books appear every year

them to contemporary issues in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, politics,
and aesthetics, among other fields. In addition, a number of international
journals are devoted to idealism as a whole and to specific idealist philoso-
phers, and journals in both the history of philosophy and contemporary
philosophieshaveregularcontributionstotheGermanIdealists.Innumerous
countries, there are regular conferences and study groups run by philosoph-
ical associations that focus on this period and its key figures, especially Kant,
Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, and Schopenhauer.

vi Series Editor’s Preface
As part of this growing discussion, the volumes in the Palgrave Handbooks
in German Idealism series are designed to provide overviews of the major
figures and movements in German Idealism, with a breadth and depth of
coveragethatdistinguishesthemfromotheranthologies.Chaptershavebeen
specially commissioned for this series, and they are written by established
and emerging scholars from throughout the world. Contributors not only
provide overviews of their subject matter but also explore the cutting edge
of the field by advancing original theses. Some authors develop or revise
positions that they have taken in their other publications, and some take
novel approaches that challenge existing paradigms.The Palgrave Handbooks
in German Idealism thus give students a natural starting point from which
to begin their study of German Idealism, and they serve as a resource for
advancedscholarstoengageinmeaningfuldiscussionsaboutthemovement’s
philosophical and historical importance.
Inshort,thePalgraveHandbooksinGermanIdealism havecomprehensive-
ness, accessibility, depth, and philosophical rigor as their overriding goals.
These are challenging aims, to be sure, especially when held simultane-
ously, but that is the task that the excellent scholars who are editing and
contributing to these volumes have set for themselves.
