The thinkers of German idealism - the philosophical movement that emerged in 1781 with the publication of Kant's monumental Critique of Pure Reason and ended fifty years later with Hegel's death - and the themes they developed revolutionized almost every area of philosophy and had an impact across the humanities and social sciences that continues to be felt today. Notoriously complex, the central texts of German idealism have confounded the most capable and patient interpreters for more than 200 years. Understanding German Idealism is an accessible introduction that conveys the significance of this philosophical movement while avoiding its obscurity. Will Dudley provides a clear account of the problems that motivated Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel and the solutions that they proposed. He outlines the main ideas of transcendental idealism and explores how the later German idealists attempted to carry out the Kantian project more rigorously than Kant himself in order to determine the meaning and sustain the possibility of a free and rational modern life. Understanding German Idealism also examines some of the most important early criticisms of German idealism and the philosophical alternatives to which they led, including romanticism, Marxism, existentialism, and naturalism.

Nearly two centuries after declaring "the end of history," Hegel remains a rich source of insights into our historical nature. The essays collected here interpret and develop those insights, while also challenging Hegel's philosophical approach to comprehend present and future phenomena that he could neither experience nor imagine. They represent the very best in contemporary scholarship on Hegel and history, and collectively they address all of the important and disputed topics in the field: Hegel's claim that history has an end, whether his philosophy of history is Eurocentric or racist, how elements of what he terms "subjective spirit" and "objective spirit" contribute to historical development, and the relationship between religion and his philosophy of history.

Immanuel Kant is among the most pivotal thinkers in the history of philosophy. His transcendental idealism claims to overcome the skepticism of David Hume, resolve the impasse between empiricism and rationalism, and establish the reality of human freedom and moral agency. A thorough understanding of Kant is indispensable to any philosopher today. The significance of Kant's thought is matched by its complexity. His revolutionary ideas are systematically interconnected and he presents them using a forbidding technical vocabulary. A careful investigation of the key concepts that structure Kant's
