Understanding German Idealism provides an accessible introduction to the philosophical movement that emerged with the publication of Kant’s monumental Critique of Pure Reason and ended fifty years later with Hegel’s death. The thinkers of this period and the themes they developed revolutionized almost every area of philosophy and had an impact that continues to be felt across the humanities and social sciences 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 aims to convey the significance of this philosophical movement while avoiding its obscurity. Readers are given a clear understanding of the problems that motivated Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel and the solutions that they proposed. Dudley 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, striving to develop a fully self-critical and rational philosophy, in order to determine the meaning and sustain the possibility of a free and rational modern life.

Hegels Denken ist auch heute noch umstritten: Er gilt als Verteidiger ebenso wie als Kritiker der Religion, als Philosoph der Restauration, als Wegbereiter des Marxismus und als Denker der Freiheit. Das Handbuch verbindet einen Überblick über Hegels Leben und den frühen Streit um seine Philosophie mit einer detaillierten Darstellung seiner Werke. Von den frühen Fragmenten über die Jenaer Kritischen Schriften und Systementwürfe bis zu den Hauptwerken und den Berliner Vorlesungen werden alle Einzeltexte ausführlich analysiert. Für die 3. Auflage wurde die Literatur ergänzt und der bisherige Text durch Einbeziehung der seit der 2. Auflage erschienenen wichtigen Quellen erweitert.

While the explicit Althusserian engagement with Marx’s Capital remained largely limited to Reading Capital , after 1968, Nick Nesbitt argues, this theoretical intervention remained insistent, adopting the form of a general theory of materialist dialectic. The book thus analyzes the Althusserianist theory of a materialist dialectic across diverse sites including Althusser’s unpublished archive, Macherey’s exposition of Spinoza’s Ethics , and Badiou’s Logics of Worlds , while simultaneously bringing this fully-developed theory of materialist dialectic to bear anew on the reading of Capital itself, to show that Spinoza's influence on Marx is far greater--and that of Hegel increasingly diminishing--than has been previously thought.

This book explores an overlooked area in Hegel studies: his use of ‘individuality’ (Individualität). Hegel joined a lively conversation, from Leibniz to Romanticism and beyond, about this novel concept/phenomenon. Successive chapters track Hegel’s engagement, in such texts as the Phenomenology, Encyclopedia, and Aesthetics. Hegel’s system tends to follow a syllogistic logic (universal, particular, singular), but ‘individuality’ departs from the norm. The category enacts a certain pragmatics (as against semantics or syntactics) regarding tacit assumptions at work or implicit terms of address, which requires active participation by a thinking subject charged with discerning individuality (which bars resort to explicit rules). The category reflexively implicates the user even in presuming an objective context. ‘Individuality’ should not be confused with ‘individualism,’ wholly distinct in origin. Moreover, Hegel’s Aesthetics embraces a paradoxical anachronism. Like ‘art’ itself, ‘individuality’ emerged as an essentially modern category, though one transferred to the past and to distant cultures.
