Product Description:

Provides a systematic overview of the topic of self in classical German philosophy, focusing on the period around 1800 and covering Kant, Fichte, Holderlin, Novalis, Schelling, Schleirmacher, and Hegel."This collection of speculative, critical, and expository essays succeeds in presenting a representative array of the various philosophical approaches to the self among German idealists. The survey makes clear the density and diversity of the reflection on the self during this period. In addition, some essays identify the significance of a particular approach for contemporary debates, while others elucidate how specific philosophers of a later generation take their bearings from the insights of German idealists". -- Daniel O. Dahlstrom, Catholic University of AmericaFiguring the Self consists of twelve essays which present, discuss, and assess the principal accounts of the self in classical German philosophy, focusing on the period around 1800 and covering Kant, Fichte, Holderlin, Novalis, Schelling, Schleiermacher, and Hegel."The range of interests represented in this book make it exemplary. It is hard to imagine a philosopher who would not find something of interest here, because the contributors, while reflecting scholarly concerns, are not inhibited by them from addressing topics of contemporary relevance". -- Robert Bernasconi, The University of Memphis
