		Philosophy is paradigmatically concerned with fundamental concepts such as existence, goodness, knowledge, and beauty; philosophers have often been particularly concerned with asking critical questions about the natures of these concepts--questions which don't seem to be amenable to treatment by the special sciences.
		Philosophy of psychology: the study of some fundamental questions about the methods and concepts of psychology and psychiatry, such as the meaningfulness of Freudian concepts; this is sometimes treated as including philosophy of mind.
		Philosophy of religion: the study of the meaning of the concept of God and of the rationality or otherwise of belief in the existence of God.

	Marxism and Philosophy by Karl Korsch (1923)
		Similarly, the philosophy of this bourgeois society is unable to understand the nature of the general propositions in which the revolutionary movement of the proletariat has found its independent and self-conscious expression.
		German idealism from Kant to Hegel did not cease to be philosophical when it affirmed this universal role (which is anyway what is colloquially thought to be the essence of any philosophy).
		It is a revolutionary philosophy whose task is to participate in the revolutionary struggles waged in all spheres of society against the whole of the existing order, by fighting in one specific area – philosophy.

		German idealism was a philosophical movement in Germany in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
		German idealism is one of the most important and momentous epochs in modern philosophy.
		Agreement on the concept of philosophy and on what philosophical theory formation is capable of achieving was largely shaped - and its continued development ensured to this day - by systematic philosophy on foundations laid by Kant.

	German Idealism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		For the Germans, at least, Rousseau's radicalism brought into question the value of the culture-ideals of the Enlightenment, and impelled them to seek the basis of culture in the creative power of the mind.
		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.
		Realizing the inadequacy of their philosophy to meet practical needs, they now sought an ethical and religious ideal which should unify the concrete content of spiritual life and at the same time be a necessary deduction from the metaphysical background of existence.

	German Phil
		His later philosophy suggests a materialism and empiricism that puts him outside of idealism proper; his connection with the romantic movement suggests an aestheticism that challenges traditional philosophy as such; and his mysticism allies him with medieval, pre-critical philosophies considered antiquated by the nineteenth century.
		By linking the task of philosophy to construction within the Absolute, and construing the Absolute as a starting point that is given in advance and develops in a necessary manner, Schelling fails to grasp the specificity and artifice of philosophical construction.
		Romance of Individualism in Emerson and Nietzsche by David Mikics (Ohio University Press) is a staggering commentary on the conflict of alternative realities as expressed in the visionary populism of Nietzsche and the homespun Americana and Unitarian-style individualism found in the writings of Emerson.

		Written in a simple language unusual for philosophy, his works reflected concerns and tragedies of the real life, not just usual empyreal problems all philosophers used to deal with.
		He was the first European thinker to study the Upanishads, Indian teachings, and Buddhism, which deeply influenced his thought together with the works of Plato and Immanuel Kant.

	MODERN PHILOSOPHY: The Successors of Kant
		As a historian of philosophy and as the founder of the "South-West-German school of philosophy," Windelband (picture) exercised considerable influence.
		Windelband belongs to those German philosophers who proceed from Kant's criticism, but he protested against other neo-Kantians who mainly confined their thinking to a renewal of Kant's epistemology, and he stressed the importance of his inquiries into ethics, aesthetics, and philosophy of law and religion.
		He decided in favor of the historical sciences, because, according to him philosophy must interpret spiritual life and explain values, and the sense of values is rooted in the sense of the individual.

	Johann Gottlieb Fichte [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Johann Gottlieb Fichte is one of the major figures in German philosophy in the period between Kant and Hegel.
		The particular role of the scholar — that is, of individuals such as Fichte himself, regardless of their particular academic discipline — is to be a teacher of mankind and a superintendent of its never-ending progress towards perfection.
		The former is transcendental philosophy; the latter, a naturalistic approach to experience that explains it solely in causal terms.

		In fact, of all the representatives of German philosophy of that day, he was the only one who took an active part in the social and political life of his time.
		Fichte was not mistaken when he said, "What kind of philosophy one chooses depends upon what kind of man one is." But when he made the attempt to impose his purely personal evaluations upon the whole nation, he arrived at the monstrous sophism whose tragic effect has not even today been overcome.
		The introduction to his Philosophy of Law is a grim defence of the miserable Prussian conditions, an excommunicating curse against all who dared to shake the traditional.

	Illuminations: Kellner
		I thus do not use continental philosophy as abstract dogmas to be religiously worshipped, but as a body of living thought to apply to contemporary problems and issues.
		The best of continental philosophy is critical and dialogical, and its major thinkers have often drawn on the most productive elements of their predecessors, while overcoming those aspects that are no longer of use or relevant.
		Ultimately, continental philosophy for me provides the conditions of the possibility of seeing philosophy as an adventure that contains the dimensions of all the traditional domains of philosophy, as well as social theory, cultural criticism, and social and political critique.

	18th Century German Philosophy Prior to Kant (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Both a lawyer and a philosophy professor, he advocated the independent use of healthy reason, fought against prejudice, against belief in any of the then prevailing superstitions, against any form of (religious) persecution, against the witch-hunt and the use of torture, and in general, against any form of intolerance.
		He saw philosophy, which he conceived as world-wisdom (Welt-Weisheit), as the means to public enlightenment and, in line with the mood of the time, the purview of everyone, not just of philosophers or experts.
		The reception of Wolff's philosophy is interesting not only in view of its widespread acceptance, but also in light of the disputes it generated and the further developments it gave rise to.

	German 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.
		Kant, by his Critical Philosophy, not only decisively attacked the defects of the philosophical positions developed during the Enlightenment (often classified under the headings of "Rationalism" and "Empiricism"), but lie effected (by his own admission) a revolution in philosophy so complete as to clear the field of all other competitors.
		As a matter of historical fact, while Kant's Critical Philosophy certainly aroused a great deal of interest and often sympathy, even well beyond more narrowly philosophical circles, it was by no means the case that all critical resistance in the German‑speaking lands to Kant's transcendental mode of philosophizing or its later developments was decisively vanquished.

	German Philosophy and Kabbalah
		It was very interesting for me to read a number of posts dedicated to the Hegelian philosophy and its comparison with the Kabbalistic and Jungian notions of God.
		I think that mentioned similarities really exist but their roots lie not in the Hegelian philosophy as such but in some genetic origins of German speculative philosophy of the 19th century.
		I think that the root of the said similarities lie in philosophy (or theosophy) of such figure as a mystical thinker of 16th-17th centuries Jacob Boehme (the so-called Philosophia Teutonica - German Philosophy).
