Left-Kantianism in the Marburg School
Widmer sheds light on a neglected aspect of the Western philosophical tradition. Following an era of Hegelianism, the members of the neo-Kantian "Marburg School," such as Friedrich Albert Lange, Hermann Cohen, Rudolf Stammler, Paul Natorp, and Ernst Cassirer defended socialism or left-wing ideals on Kantian principles. In doing so, Widmer breaks with two mistaken assumptions. First, Widmer demonstrates that the left-Hegelian and Marxist traditions were not the only significant philosophical sources of socialist critique in nineteenth-century Germany, as the left-Kantians identified problems of normativity that the left-Hegelians could not adequately address. Second, Widmer challenges the prevailing assumption that the political philosophies developed in the Marburg School can be comprehensively characterized as a unified school of "ethical socialism." By showing that they varied fundamentally regarding their political views and their philosophical foundations of socialism, Widmer fills a gap in the studies of neo-Kantianism that is long overdue.
Neo-Kantianism and Cultural Sciences
Il volume si propone di indagare, dal punto di vista sia storiografico che teoretico, la peculiare relazione che si instaurò tra le diverse scuole di pensiero neokantiane e quelle discipline che tra fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento furono rubricate sotto il titolo di scienze della cultura o scienze dello spirito. Il neokantismo svolse, difatti, un ruolo di primissimo piano nella formazione dello scenario filosofico e culturale tedesco del secolo scorso, divenendo, da un lato, una fonte inesauribile di idee e metodi per le cosiddette Kulturwissenschaften, e accogliendo, dall’altro lato, entro il suo poliedrico sviluppo, alcune decisive istanze veicolate da tali scienze. Il volume prova a ...
Kant um 1900
Schon Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts galt Kant weithin als Autorität jeglichen wissenschaftlichen Philosophierens. In einer Zeit, in der die Universitätslandschaft in Deutschland durch vielfältige politische, kulturelle und akademische Transformationen geprägt war, sollte Kant, so der Neukantianer Otto Liebmann, als eine Art Ordnungsinstanz fungieren. Liebmanns Aufruf "Zurück zu Kant" folgte aber nicht etwa eine Vereinheitlichung des Diskurses. Ganz im Gegenteil beriefen sich Autoren der gegensätzlichsten Positionen auf die kantische Philosophie: Materialisten, Spiritisten, Okkultisten, Monisten, lutherische Theologen, Sozialisten und die in diesem Kontext entstehende "neukantianische" Fachphilosophie. Die Vielfalt der Kantdeutungen im fin de siècle wird in der heutigen Philosophiegeschichtsschreibung in ihrer ganzen Breite wenig thematisiert. Gerade vor dem Hintergrund dieser Vielfalt entstanden jedoch maßgebliche Institutionen, die die Kantrezeption bis heute bestimmen: die Kant-Studien, die Kant-Gesellschaft und die Akademie-Ausgabe von Kants Gesammelten Werken. In den Beiträgen des vorliegenden Bandes werden verschiedene Rezeptionskontexte und Autoren um 1900 vorgestellt.
Cassirer and Heidegger in Davos
The first comprehensive philosophical analysis of the 'Davos debate' between Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger.
A Parting of the Ways
Since the 1930s, philosophy has been divided into two camps: the analytic tradition which prevails in the Anglophone world and the continental tradition which holds sway over the European continent. A Parting of the Ways looks at the origins of this split through the lens of one defining episode: the disputation in Davos, Switzerland, in 1929, between the two most eminent German philosophers, Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger. This watershed debate was attended by Rudlf Carnap, a representative of the Vienna Circle of logical positivists. Michael Friedman shows how philosophical differences interacted with political events. Both Carnap and Heidegger viewd their philosophical efforts as tied to their radical social outlooks, with Carnap on the left and Heidegger on the right, while Cassirer was in the conciliatory classical tradition of liveral republicanism. The rise of Hitler led to the emigration from Europe of most leading philosophers, including Carnap and Cassirer, leaving Heidegger alone on the continent.
Ernst Cassirer and the Autonomy of Language
Ernst Cassirer and the Autonomy of Language examines the central arguments in Cassirer’s first volume of the Philosophy of Symbolic Forms. Gregory Moss demonstrates both how Cassirer defends language as an autonomous cultural form and how he borrows the concept of the “concrete universal” from G. W. F. Hegel in order to develop a concept of cultural autonomy. While Cassirer rejected elements of Hegel’s methodology in order to preserve the autonomy of language, he also found it necessary to incorporate elements of Hegel’s method to save the Kantian paradigm from the pitfalls of skepticism. Moss advocates for the continuing relevanceof Cassirer’s work on language by situating it wi...
The Genesis of Neo-Kantianism, 1796-1880
Neo-Kantianism was an important movement in German philosophy of the late 19th century: Frederick Beiser traces its development back to the late 18th century, and explains its rise as a response to three major developments in German culture: the collapse of speculative idealism; the materialism controversy; and the identity crisis of philosophy.

Psychologism
First published in 1995. When did psychology become a distinct discipline? What links the continental and analytic traditions in philosophy? Answers to both questions are found in this extraordinary account of the debate surrounding psychologism in Germany at the turn of the century. The trajectory of twentieth century philosophy has been largely determined by this anti-naturalist view which holds that empirical research is in principle different from philosophical inquiry, and can never make significant contributions to the latter's central issues. Martin Kusch explores the origins of psychologism through the work of two major figures in the history of twentieth century philosophy, Gottlob ...
