All or Nothing: Systematicity, Transcendental Arguments, and Skepticism in German Idealism (2005)
Interest in German Idealism—not just Kant, but Fichte and Hegel as well—has recently developed within analytic philosophy, which traditionally defined itself in opposition to the Idealist tradition. Yet one obstacle remains especially intractable: The Idealists’ longstanding claim that philosophy must be systematic. In this work, the first overview of the German Idealism that is both conceptual and methodological, Paul W. Franks offers a philosophical reconstruction that is true to the movement’s own times and resources and, at the same time, deeply relevant to contemporary thought.
