Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:Proponents of Scottish common-sense philosophy, especially Thomas Reid, James Oswald and James Beattie, had a substantial influence on late enlightenment German philosophy. In this study Manfred Kuehn explores the nature and extent of that. He finds that the work of these philosophers was widely discussed in German philosophical journals and translated into German soon after its publication in Britain. Important German philosophers such as Mendelssohn, Lossius, Feder, Hamann and Jacobi, representing the full range of philosophical positions, read the Scots and found valuable philosophical insights in their thought. Kuehn suggests that the most important aspect of their reading was the perception of Scottish common-sense philosophers as opposing Hume's scepticism while complementing his positive teaching. Their views gave considerable impetus to those developments in German thought that ultimately led to Kant's critical philosophy. In fact Kant, whose devastating criticism of the Scottish common-sense philosophers is often cited, learned much from the Scots, as his Critique of Pure Reason reveals.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
