This course continues the historical overview given in the Introductory Course to Modern Philosophy. We start by presenting Kant's philosophy as closing one philosophical époque and opening another. We then discuss Kant's contemporaries Hamann and Herder, German Idealism (Fichte, Hegel), romantic and materialist reactions to Hegel (Schlegel, Marx), Mill and Nietzsche. We focus mainly on the question of the new possibilities open to philosophy, its essence, presuppositions and limits.
