Character Information

Dislikes	Materialism

German Idealism usually refers to a group of philosophers who were both German and Idealist. German Idealists criticized Kant for the reason that the 'Critique of Pure Reason' wasn't radical enough. German Idealism was also highly related to Romantic movement during the time.

History

German idealism can be traced back to the “critical” or “transcendental” idealism of Immanuel Kant. The philosophy of German idealism arose to challenge the Enlightenment's skeptical, materialist, empiricist, and antimetaphysical worldview.

Beliefs

Idealism

The idealism espoused by the German idealists is, however, different from other kinds of idealism with which contemporary philosophers may be more familiar. While earlier idealists maintained that reality is ultimately intellectual rather than material (Plato) or that the existence of objects is mind-dependent (Berkeley), the German idealists reject the distinctions these views presuppose. In addition to the distinction between the material and the formal and the distinction between the real and the ideal, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel also reject the distinction between being and thinking.

Variants

Maimonism

Maimonism is a philosophy of Salomon Maimon.

Schleiermacherism

Schleiermacherism is the philosophy of German theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher, leader of German Idealism. Schleiermacher is known for his reconciliation of the criticisms of the Enlightenment with traditional Protestant Christianity. His work also formed part of the foundation for the modern field of hermeneutics.

Schellingianism

Schelingianism is a philosophical thought of German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Schellingianism is closely associated with German Idealism and Romanticism, particularly during the post-Kantian era. Schelling sought to reconcile the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant with a more comprehensive and dynamic understanding of nature and reality.

Russian Schellingianism

Russian Schellingianism is a Russian philosophy thought by Messianic philosopher Vladimir Solovyov.

Schulzeanism

Schulzeanism is the thought of German philosopher Gottlob Ernst Schulze.
