This book consists of twelve essays which present, discuss, and assess the principal accounts of the self in classical German philosophy, focusing on the period around 1800 and covering Kant, Fichte, Holderlin, Novalis, Schelling, Schlieiermacher, and Hegel.
Review
“This collection of speculative, critical, and expository essays succeeds in presenting a representative array of the various philosophical approaches to the self among German idealists. The survey makes clear the density and diversity of the reflection on the self during this period. In addition, some essays identify the significance of a particular approach for contemporary debates, while others elucidate how specific philosophers of a later generation take their bearings from the insights of German idealists.” ― Daniel O. Dahlstrom, Catholic University of America
“The contributors are correct in their view that this takes up a subject that has been overlooked in studies of German Idealism, that is, there are discussions of the self in Hegel, but not traced out in the whole movement of German Idealism. The self is a topic in philosophy that needs more attention. These are original treatments on the subject and the book is itself insightful in bringing together essays on all of the major figures in this period of philosophy.” ― Donald Phillip Verene, Candler Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy, Emory University
"The range of interests represented in this book make it exemplary. It is hard to imagine a philosopher who would not find something of interest here, because the contributors, while reflecting scholarly concerns, are not inhibited by them from addressing topics of contemporary relevance." -- Robert Bernasconi, The University of Memphis

良莠不齐,大卫斯特恩的那篇海德格尔、维特根斯坦碰上frank就像是二维生物碰上了外星人,很难想象会有理论水平差距那么大的一个文集,当然,这些英美海德格尔研究是这样的。

2026.1.2. Karl Ameriks与Walter Jaeschke的两篇是不容错过的;Dieter Henrich和Manfred Frank的两篇在把自己当哲学家写作,不算标准的学术论文,但总归问题还是有趣且重要的;其他论文我无法评判,不过Zöller那篇让我越来越确定自己似乎完全无法理解Fichte…
