This volume is devoted to a critical discussion and re-appraisal of the work of Anglo-American Idealists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Idealism was the dominant philosophy in Britain and the entire English-speaking world during the last decades of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. The British Idealists made important contributions to logic, metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics, social and political philosophy, philosophy of history, philosophy of religion and philosophy of mind. Their legacy awaits further exploration and reassessment, and this book is a contribution to this task. The essays in this collection display many aspects of contemporary concern with idealistic philosophy: they range from treatments of logic to consideration of the Absolute, personal idealism, the philosophy of religion, philosophy of art, philosophy of action, and moral and political philosophy. During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the work of the Anglo-American Idealists has once again been widely discussed and re-considered, and new pathways of research and investigation have been opened. «The publication of 'Anglo-American Idealism; Thinkers and Ideas' is timely. Considering the increasing time allocated to the philosophy and history of British Idealism in university curricula (...), the volume will interest both advanced undergraduates and graduates. An interested reader will doubtless find more than a single chapter instructive. Not only will students of Anglo-American Idealism find the volume essential reading, but also political theorists and intellectual historians will be able to consult (...) the engaging discussions of the volume.» (Antis Loizides, Political Studies Review) «This edited volume provides an insightful and informative perspective on all aspects of contemporary concern with idealist philosophy. [...] The volume is a welcome addition to the expanding literature on idealism and is particularly helpful in displaying its variety and inter-connectedness, along with its impact and relevance to today.» (Richard Murphy, Philosophy in Review XXXII, 04/2012) «'Anglo-American Idealism - Thinkers and Ideas' is an excellent introduction to contemporary idealism, and has an ample scope for exegesis in the classroom. The kind of careful work exhibited here will open up latent currents of thought and develop intuition at the historical as well as the personal level, not only for students of idealism but also for those (...) interested in the fullest extensions of the Platonic paradigm.» (Alastair Beattie, Interchange 04/2014)

This volume of 23 previously unpublished essays explores the relationship between the philosophy of J.G. Fichte and that of other leading thinkers associated with German Idealism and the early Romantic movement. Several papers explore the broader question of Fichte’s relationship and contribution to “German idealism” and “German romanticism” in general, while others offer comparative studies of the relationship between Fichte’s writings and those of Leibniz, Kant, Schelling, Hegel, Friedrich Schlegel, Novalis, Schleiermacher, and Wilhelm von Humboldt. Taken collectively, this set of essays provides anglophone readers with a new and historically accurate understanding of the origin, development, and reception of Fichte’s philosophy in the context of its own era and in relationship to the most important intellectual movements of the time. The authors include both well established and internationally recognized experts in their fields as well as younger scholars with fresh and challenging perspectives to offer. This volume proposes a new interpretation of the history of German idealism in general and of the place therein of Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre . It emphasizes the intimate connection between “transcendental idealism” and “German romanticism” and shows how developments within each of these intellectual movements reflected and in turn influenced developments within the other. Finally, it sheds new light on Fichte’s own philosophical development and does so by relating the various stages of his writings to other contemporary movements and authors.
