In the past few decades a remarkable change occurred in Kant scholarship: the "other" Kant has been discovered, i.e. the one of the doctrine of virtue and the anthropology. Through the rediscovery of Kant's investigations into the empirical and sensuous aspects of knowledge, our understanding of Kant's philosophy has been enriched by an important element that has allowed researchers to correct supposed deficiencies in Kant's work. In addition, further questions concerning the nature of Kant's philosophy itself have been formulated: the more the "other" Kant comes to the fore, the stronger the question concerning the connection between pure philosophy and empirical investigation becomes. The aim of this study is to show that the psychological and anthropological interpretations of Kant's pure philosophy are not convincing and at the same time to illustrate some connections between his critical and anthropological investigations by means of an analysis of the theory of the faculties. Against both a "transcendental psychological" and an "anthropological" reading, the book presents Kant's theory of the faculties as a constitutive part of his critical philosophy and shows that there is a close connection between Kant's pure philosophy and his moral aesthetic.

Friedrich Schiller is justly celebrated for his dramas and poetry. Yet, above all, he was a polymath, whose writings enriched a range of fields including history and philosophy. Until now, no comprehensive accounting of this philosophy has been undertaken. The Palgrave Handbook on the Philosophy of Friedrich Schiller makes good this desideratum, treating Schiller's poetry, prose, and dramatic work alongside his philosophical writings and reviewing his thought not only in connection with those who influenced him, such as Kant, Reinhold, and Fichte, but also those he anticipated, such as Hegel, Marx, and the Neo-Kantians. Topics treated in this volume include Schiller's philosophical background, his theoretical writings, Schiller's philosophical writing in light of his entire oeuvre, and Schiller's philosophical legacy. The Handbook also includes an overview of the main topics Schiller addressed in his philosophical writings including philosophical anthropology, aesthetics, moral philosophy, politics and political theory, the philosophy of history, and the philosophy of education. Bringing together the latest research on Schiller and his thought by leading scholars in the field, the Handbook draws attention to Schiller's undiminished importance for philosophical debates today. Antonino Falduto is Lecturer (tenured Associate Professor) in Philosophy at the University of Ferrara, Italy. He is the author and editor of numerous works on the philosophy of Enlightenment (including The Faculties of the Human Mind and the Case of Moral Feeling in Kant’s Philosophy, Berlin/Boston 2014). Tim Mehigan is Professor of German in the School of Languages and Cultures at the University of Queensland, Australia, and Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities. He is the author of Heinrich von Kleist: Writing after Kant (2011), Robert Musil and the Question of Science (2020) and co-translator of K.L. Reinhold's New Theory of the Human Capacity for Representation (2011).

For a good 50 years now, theses of »vanishing humanity«, its »dissolution«, or its »end« have been haunting philosophy. People constantly speak of the »death of the subject«. From Kant, Hegel, and Marx to Nietzsche, Heidegger, Adorno, and Foucault, a philosophical skepticism is manifesting which concerns »man«, pointing beyond him. This volume sheds light on the backgrounds and meanings of these »post-modern« postulations without succumbing to polemic prejudice. The different contributions reconstruct the historically relevant criticisms that speak out against an anthropological exaltation and absolutization of »mankind«. At the same time, the volume takes a philosophical stance against the current trend of naturalist images of humanity being revived in biological sciences and brain research. Seit bereits gut 50 Jahren geistern in der Philosophie die Thesen vom »Verschwinden des Menschen«, seiner »Auflösung« oder seinem »Ende« herum. Vom »Tod des Subjekts« ist immer wieder die Rede. Von Kant, Hegel und Marx bis zu Nietzsche, Heidegger, Adorno und Foucault etabliert sich eine philosophische Skepsis, die sich auf »den Menschen« bezieht und über ihn hinausweist.Dieses Buch klärt über die Hintergründe und Bedeutungen dieser als »postmodern« geltenden Postulate auf, ohne dabei in polemische Vorurteile zu verfallen. In den einzelnen Beiträgen werden die historisch einschlägigen Kritiken rekonstruiert, die sich gegen eine anthropologische Erhöhung oder Verabsolutierung »des Menschen« aussprechen.Zugleich bezieht der Band philosophisch Position gegen den aktuellen Trend einer Wiederbelebung naturalistischer Menschenbilder in Biowissenschaften und Hirnforschung.
