(Disease of the Epoch or Healing Provocation? Scepticism in Post-Kantian Philosophy)

Table of Contents

The present collection of essays is devoted to the debate about the new scepticism, which emerged in Germany as immediate response to Kant's critical philosophy. Sceptical doubts of Maimon and Schulze opposed the Kantian claim that it is possible a priori to determine the nature of experience and the conditions of its possibility. Reinhold defended Kant against such criticism, but modified his claim. This debate inspired Fichte, Schlegel and later Hegel to develop their own philosophy.
