Description
Book SynopsisOffers a comprehensive treatment of Neo-Kantianism and discusses the main topics and key figures of the movement and their intersection with other 20th-century philosophers. This work provides important insights into the history of philosophy, the scope of transcendental thought, and Neo-Kantian influence on the sciences and intellectual culture.
Trade ReviewThe extraordinary range of philosophers covered here is striking, from the physicist-cum-philosopher Hermann von Helmholtz to the axiologist and historian of philosophy Wilhelm Windelband.
