A Mayfly for Prof. Hegel
Herbart and Hegel were contemporaries and both became famous, in their time and thereafter. It would be interesting therefore to know what they thought of one another. We could easily answer this question if they reviewed one another. Hegel never reviewed Herbart; but Herbart did review Hegel. Though in his later years Herbart protested that he did not want to engage with Hegel, he had already written, in 1822, one of his longest and most importa…
Hegel and the history of idealism
This article attempts to expose an unwarranted narrowness in the study of idealism in nineteenth century philosophy, and to show that the field of idealism is much wider than usually assumed. This narrowness stems from the influence of Hegel’s history of philosophy, which saw the idealist tradition as beginning in Kant, passing through Fichte and Schelling, and then culminating in his own system. This conception of history has been disseminated b…
Hermann Cohen's Love/Hate Relationship with Spinoza, 1867-1915
In 1910 Hermann Cohen asserted that the ban against Spinoza, pronounced more than 250 years earlier, was fully justified. This was a controversial thesis, given the widespread movement among liberal Jews to reclaim Spinoza for the Jewish tradition and to proclaim him the »first modern Jew.« It was all the more surprising, given that in his early years Cohen was a Spinozist himself. Why did Cohen become a Spinoza antagonist? This article shows tha…

Romanticism and Idealism
This chapter will attempt to resolve a dispute between Frederick Beiser and Manfred Frank about the relationship between romanticism and idealism. In German Idealism Beiser placed the romantics within the German idealist movement, seeing them as part of the same tradition as Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel. This aroused the objection of Frank, which appears in his Auswege aus dem deutschen Idealismus, and others who follow him (viz., Elizabeth…
After Hegel
Two Traditions of Idealism
Spinoza and German Idealism
There can be little doubt that without Spinoza, German Idealism would have been just as impossible as it would have been without Kant. Yet the precise nature of Spinoza's influence on the German Idealists has hardly been studied in detail. This volume of essays by leading scholars sheds light on how the appropriation of Spinoza by Fichte, Schelling and Hegel grew out of the reception of his philosophy by, among others, Lessing, Mendelssohn, Jacob…
Introduction
No one who looks at the bibliography to this new edition of The Cambridge Companion to Hegel will be unimpressed by the remarkable growth of interest in Hegel. The bibliography covers only the last fifteen years - roughly those since the appearance of the first edition of this book - and it deals with books in English alone. To prevent it from ballooning to twice, thrice, or four times its size, the editor had to exclude French, German, and Itali…
Emil Lask and Kantianism
Since I agree substantially with Dina Emundts' account of Lask's theory of judgment, my remarks will be more a complement than a critique of her paper.I first want to introduce Lask, who is still an obscure figure, especially in the Anglophone world.I would then like to sketch a broader picture of Lask and to consider some aspects of his thought which are crucial for his general philosophical orientation.There is, however, one point where I tend …
The Cambridge Companion to Hegel and Nineteenth-Century Philosophy
The Cambridge Companion to Hegel and Nineteenth-Century Philosophy examines Hegel within his broader historical and philosophical contexts. Covering all major aspects of Hegel's philosophy, the volume provides an introduction to his logic, epistemology, philosophy of mind, social and political philosophy, philosophy of nature and aesthetics.

Schiller as Philosopher
Hegel
Hegel (1770-1831) is one of the major philosophers of the nineteenth century. Many of the major philosophical movements of the twentieth century - from existentialism to analytic philosophy - grew out of reactions against Hegel. He is also one of the hardest philosophers to understand and his complex ideas, though rewarding, are often misunderstood. In this magisterial and lucid introduction, Frederick Beiser covers every major aspect of Hegel's …
