Summary
Details

"Kant declared that philosophy began in 1781 with his Critique of Pure Reason.

In 1806 Hegel announced that philosophy had now been completed. Eckart

Förster examines the reasons behind these claims and assesses the steps

that led in such a short time from Kant's ""beginning"" to Hegel's ""end.""

He concludes that, in an unexpected yet significant sense, both Kant and

Hegel were indeed right.

""Presents a novel interpretation of

the development of German idealism that is rich in both historical depth

and philosophical insight Förster sets forth a historically nuanced and

philosophically discerning interpretation of the central debates of the

era."" -Peter Yong, Philosophy in Review

""[Förster's]

book does not disappoint The amount of material covered by Förster is

impressive Förster's book is rich in specificity Wherever the discussion

goes, it is going to have to go on by taking Förster's big picture and

all his detailed accounts into account."" -Terry Pinkard, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

""Förster's

command of the historical sources is most impressive. Moreover, this

book is clearly written, and Bowman's translation is commendable.

Scholars and graduate students will welcome this masterpiece."" -J. M. Fritzman, Choice"
