Books in the Texts in German Philosophy series

This book is Heinrich Rickert's most important work, and it is here translated into English for the first time. It presents his systematic theory of knowledge and philosophy of science, and deals particularly with historical knowledge and the problem of demarcating the natural from the human sciences.

On the History of Modern Philosophy is a key transitional text in the history of European philosophy. In it F. W. J. Schelling surveys philosophy from Descartes to German Idealism and shows why the Idealist project is ultimately doomed to failure.

An English translation of Schelling's "Ideas for a Philosophy of Nature" (first published in 1797 and revised in 1803), one of the most significant works in the German tradition of philosophy of nature and early 19th-century philosophy of science.

A modern translation of J. G. Fichte's best known philosophical work (including his two explanatory Introductions), which contributed to the development of 19th Century German Idealism from Kant's critical philosophy.
