Abstract

A good analysis of the part Kant played in Fichte's The Second Introduction to the Doctrine of Science and in Schelling's On Construction in Philosophy. The study on Fichte considers a) his view of the genesis of Kant's intellectual intuition as the intuition of a historical reality, and b) his view of the genesis of Kant's recognition of a thing-in-itself as the recognition of a common consciousness. The study on Schelling discusses the way in which he extended the concept of constructibility--limited by Kant to spatial constructibility in mathematics--to the eternal constructibility of the Absolute in philosophy.--G.
