Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 September 2009
The essays in this volume are based on the Royal Institute of Philosophy's annual lecture series for 1997–8. One underlying aim of the series was to show that German-speaking post-Kantian philosophers cannot be straightforwardly divided into those of an analytic bent and those of a metaphysical or idealist bent. The categories themselves will be anachronistic for many of the thinkers considered in this volume; in any case, hardly any admits of so simplistic a characterisation. As will be seen, themes and interests overlap and criss-cross in German philosophy throughout the two centuries since Kant, which may in itself cast doubt on the validity of any clear divide even to-day between ‘analytic’ and ‘continental’ philosophy.
In the main the essays are arranged in chronological order according to the philosophers considered, and the book concludes with two articles which take a longer view than those which concentrate on one, two or three figures.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all those who so generously contributed to both lecture series and book, especially Jürgen Habermas, whose contribution brings both to a fitting conclusion.
