The contributors in this volume situate Wittgenstein’s philosophy within the context of Kant, Hegel, Fichte, and Schelling. They show how his philosophy both stands in the tradition of German idealism while breaking new ground. The topics of logic and language make this tension especially palpable and allow the authors to reveal new connections and offer critical perspectives.

While the first decade after the fall of the Berlin wall was marked by the challenges of unification and the often difficult process of reconciling East and West German experiences, many Germans expected that the “new century” would achieve “normalization.” The essays in this volume take a closer look at Germany’s new normalcy and argue for a more nuanced picture that considers the ruptures as well as the continuities. Germany’s new generation of writers is more diverse than ever before, and their texts often not only speak of a Germany that is multicultural but also take a more playful attitude toward notions of identity.
