Dieter Henrich's lectures on German idealism were the first contact a major German philosopher had made with an American audience since the onset of World War II. They remain, to this day, one of the most eloquent interpretations of the central philosophical tradition of Germany and the way in which it relates to the concerns of contemporary philosophy.

In his work Bruno oder uber das gottliche und naturliche Princip der Dinge (Bruno, or On the Natural and Divine Principle of Things), published in the summer of 1802, Schelling describes the main features of his identity philosophy based on the model of a Platonic dialogue. All the essays that Schelling published in the first volume of the Critical Journal of Philosophy originated in 1802. These included Ueber das absolute Identitats-System (On the Absolute Identity System), a critical dispute with Reinhold, as well as Ruckert and Weiss, oder die Philosophie zu der es keines Denkens und Wissens bedarf (Ruckert and Weiss, or the Philosophy Which Requires no Thinking or Knowledge). In the text structure, the edition has taken all other editions into consideration and makes these accessible in editorial reports and explanatory annotations.

This volume contains Schelling's texts written during the second half of 1802: his texts in the New Journal of Speculative Physics, the most significant of which was Ferneren Darstellungen aus dem System der Philosophie (Further Presentations from the System of Philosophy), and Schelling's works from Volume 1,3 of the Critical Journal of Philosophy, which he co-authored with Hegel. Here he dealt with subjects pertaining to the philosophy of nature, the method of construction, questions of religion and mythology and issues in dispute at that time. Two short texts previously not incorporated in his works but related to these projects complete the edition.

The transcript of Ch. F. Schnurrer’s lecture on Job is an excellent example of the philological commentary and the exegetics of Protestant theology at the end of the 18th century. It is of great significance for the history of science and the history of theology. Schnurrer (1742–1822) was Ephorus (head) of the Tübinger Stift (house of studies for students of Protestant theology), an eminent specialist in Middle Eastern and oriental studies and the outstanding representative of a modern, Spinoza-oriented exegetics

Understanding German Idealism provides an accessible introduction to the philosophical movement that emerged with the publication of Kants monumental Critique of Pure Reason and ended fifty years later with Hegels death. The thinkers of this period and the themes they developed revolutionized almost every area of philosophy and had an impact that continues to be felt across the humanities and social sciences today. Notoriously complex, the central texts of German Idealism have confounded the most capable and patient interpreters for more than 200 years. Understanding German Idealism aims to convey the significance of this philosophical movement while avoiding its obscurity. Readers are given a clear understanding of the problems that motivated Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel and the solutions that they proposed. Dudley outlines the main ideas of transcendental idealism and explores how the later German Idealists attempted to carry out the Kantian project more rigorously than Kant himself, striving to develop a fully self-critical and rational philosophy, in order to determine the meaning and sustain the possibility of a free and rational modern life.

With his innovative research on Kant and German Idealism, Eckart Förster has been a major driving force in research on idealism for many years. In particular, his works on Kant's 'Opus postumum' and spatial schematism, on intellectual intuition and intuitive understanding, on Fichte, Hölderlin, and Goethe, on the genesis of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit as well as on the importance of Goethe for post-Kantian philosophy have received widespread attention. This volume contains many of his most important essays from the last three decades.
