Neo-Kantianism

"Not to be confused with Post-Kantianism"

Neo-Kantianism emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to the rise of scientific positivism and naturalism. Neo-Kantians sought to revitalize and reinterpret Kant's philosophy in light of the challenges posed by the natural sciences. They aimed to reconcile Kant's transcendental idealism with scientific knowledge and to develop a systematic and rigorous philosophical framework. Notable Neo-Kantian philosophers include Hermann Lotze, Wilhelm Windelband, Heinrich Rickert, and especially the Marburg School, led by Hermann Cohen and Paul Natorp.
