	German idealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		German Idealism was a philosophical movement in Germany in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
		Hegel (1770 - 1831) was a German philosopher born in Stuttgart, Württemberg, in present-day southwest Germany.
		Impersonal mind or spirit (German geist) was thought to have brought forth the universe in accordance with reasonable, logical thought.

	German Idealism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		For the philosopher German idealism usually means the philosophy of Kant and his immediate followers, while for the historian of literature it may seem little more than the personality of Goethe; and it is not usual to characterize the literary aspect of the movement as neo-humanism.
		The conceptual framework of German Idealism was provided by Immanuel Kant who was the first to reconcile the conflicting empirical and rationalistic elements of the prevailing dogmatic philosophy.
		In his view the ideal society would be one based on the insight and activity of the educated, and on the rational education of youth, and realizing in its organization the natural and fundamental ethical ideas.

	The German Ideology
		The only results which this philosophic criticism could achieve were a few (and at that thoroughly one-sided) elucidations of Christianity from the point of view of religious history; all the rest of their assertions are only further embellishments of their claim to have furnished, in these unimportant elucidations, discoveries of universal importance.
		These three aspects of social activity are not of course to be taken as three different stages, but just as three aspects or, to make it clear to the Germans, three “moments,” which have existed simultaneously since the dawn of history and the first men, and which still assert themselves in history today.
		But it is also clear how in Germany it is impossible to write this sort of history, because the Germans lack not only the necessary power of comprehension and the material but also the “evidence of their senses,” for across the Rhine you cannot have any experience of these things since history has stopped happening.

	Amazon.com: German Idealism : The Struggle against Subjectivism, 1781-1801: Books: Frederick C. Beiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		As he traces the structure and evolution of idealism as a doctrine, Frederick Beiser exposes a strong objective, or realist, strain running from Kant to Hegel and identifies the crucial role of the early romantics--Hölderlin, Schlegel, and Novalis--as the founders of absolute idealism.
		Traditionally, German idealism is understood as a radical form of subjectivism that expands the powers of the self to encompass the entire world.
		Granting the self-imposed temporal constraints of his inquiry, Beiser's aim is not to exclude or marginalize Hegel and deny his significance for German idealism, but rather to rescue the singular originality and grandeur of moments within the history of German Idealism that have fallen into the shadow of the leviathan to which they gave birth.

		This metacritique of German idealism has an analogue in the British reaction to idealism that gave birth to analytical trends in twentieth century philosophy.
		When reference is made to German philosophy in the last two decades of the eighteenth century, most people will immediately think of that tradition which has come to be called "German Idealism," along with its best-known representatives, I. Kant, J. Fichte, F. Schelling, and G.

		German Idealism and the Jew: The Inner Anti-Semitism of Philosophy and German Jewish Responses.
		A noted German thinker by the name of Treitschke played a significant role in generating anti-Semitic propaganda. Here we have an important specimen of anti-capitalism and anti-materialism coupled with anti-Semitism.
		The generic concept of idealism as a form of repression/denial may well be important, but it isolates one theme or one mechanism, and while imposing one aspect of systematicity organized around this single theme, bypasses the systematicity of the actual philosophical systems under discussion. And this is what a psychoanalytical approach also fails to address.

	Lenin: 1908/mec: 5. The Two Trends in Modern Physics, and German Idealism
		Electricity is proclaimed a collaborator of idealism, because it has destroyed the old theory of the structure of matter, shattered the atom and discovered new forms of material motion, so unlike the old, so totally uninvestigated and unstudied, so unusual and “miraculous,” that it permits nature to be presented as non-material (spiritual, mental, psychical) motion.
		The realist compares the assertion that one cannot conceive how the mental can be formed from the material, or even from the play of atoms, with the opinion of an uneducated person who asserts that the distance between the sun and the earth cannot be twenty million miles, for he cannot conceive it” (p. 186).
		Boltzmann does not deny that the ideal of science is to present mind and volition as “complex actions of particles of matter” (p. 396).

		There are better works available on German Idealism than this 600 page volume, which is unfortunate because it would indeed have been handy to have an accurate portrayal of the philosophical period it purports to describe, and to have it in English.
		For those who want to understand Idealism, it means that works by other authors should be read (or at the very least consulted, if only to appraise Beiser's claims to be authoritative, something which is evidenced throughout by his strident tone), and, as with all real scholarship, articles as well.
		In sum, a book on "German Idealism" that lops off Kant on the one end and Hegel on the other just cannot be said to have covered the ground that the title implies.

		The story of the emergence of German Idealism (from its beginnings in Kant to its apparent consummation in Hegel) has never been fully told.
		While defying any simple or simplistic explanation, the various and sometimes conflicting impulses that led to the emergence of German Idealism together constitute an intelligible and rich line of development.
		In this volume, an international group of leading scholars shows how the various aspirations at work in the emergence of German Idealism—moral, religious, aesthetic, political, and epistemological—can be understood as both consummating and overcoming Kant’s critical philosophy.

		Kant is particularly crucial to understanding Heidegger, since the reformulation of Kantian thought that led to German neo-Kantianism provided an important part of the intellectual climate in which Heidegger formulated his own position.
		Heidegger's relationship to German idealism, particularly to its three main thinkers, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, is obviously complex.

	Idealism
		Another significant step in the transformation of idealism may be clearly seen in the writings of Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling.
		The greatest of all the German idealists was Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who methodically constructed a comprehensive system of thought about the world.
		As we have already seen, Hegel's view of the world is determinedly historical; he believed that history itself (involving another triad, of original/reflective/philosophical history) exhibits the growth of self-consciousness in the Absolute, the process of development by means of which the Weltgeist comes to know itself.

	Whitehead and German Idealism: A Poetic Heritage
		In his article "Coleridge’s Borrowings from the German" he quotes Schlegel in a passage concerning the so-called mechanic and organic forms in works of art, and he shows how the passage in Coleridge follows the German text so closely that one cannot but regard it as a mere translation.
		Furthermore, if Coleridge was a necessary and fertile mediator between German Idealism and English poetry, we will find many ideas in Wordsworth that can be traced back to Coleridge’s principal sources in German Idealism, namely to Kant and still more to the philosophy of Schelling.
		For German Idealism is commonly understood as the philosophical school that conceives any evolution or historical process as governed by a rigid necessity, excluding thereby the possibility of genuine novelty.

		Publisher description for German idealism and the Jew : the inner anti-semitism of philosophy and German Jewish responses / Michael Mack.
		Offering the first analytical account of the connection between anti-Semitism and philosophy, Mack begins his exploration by showing how the fundamental thinkers in the German idealist tradition--Kant, Hegel, and, through them, Feuerbach and Wagner--argued that the human world should perform and enact the promises held out by a conception of an otherworldly heaven.
		Each thinker accepted the philosophies of Kant and Hegel, in varying degrees, while simultaneously critiquing anti-Semitism in order to develop the modern Jewish notion of what it meant to be enlightened--a concept that differed substantially from that of Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, and Wagner.

		The enormity of the revolution set off in philosophy by Immanuel Kant was comparable, in Kant's own estimation, with the Copernican Revolution that ended the Middle Ages.
		The movement he set in motion, the fast-moving and often cantankerous dialectic of "German Idealism," inspired some of the most creative philosophers in modern times: including G. Hegel and Arthur Schopenhauer as well as those who reacted against Kant--Marx and Kierkegaard, for example.
		This volume traces the emergence of German Idealism from Kant and his predecessors through the first half of the nineteenth century, ending with the irrationalism of Kierkegaard.
