Includes bibliographical references (p. [305]-317) and index. Reinhold's life and works -- Reinhold's Enlightenment -- Reinhold's way to Kant -- 'Practical Reason' in the "Merkur-Briefe" -- 'Practical reason' in the Versuch einer neuen Theorie des Vorstellungsvermo gens -- "Practical reason" from Versuch einer neuen Theorie des menschlichen Vorstellungsvermo gens to the second volume of Briefe u ber die Kantische Philosophie. "The works of Karl Leonhard Reinhold (1757-1823) were a major factor in the development of post-Kantian philosophy, yet his exact contribution is still under discussion. This book investigates how Reinhold's background in Enlightenment influenced his reception of Kant'́s critical philosophy. From his pre-Kantian efforts up to the point where he began distancing himself from the master, Reinhold's own philosophical development takes center stage. This development, rather than critical philosophy, was the main ingredient of Reinhold's contribution to post-Kantian philosophy."--Publisher's web |
