Reviews"This collection of speculative, critical, and expository essays succeeds in presenting a representative array of the various philosophical approaches to the self among German idealists. The survey makes clear the density and diversity of the reflection on the self during this period. In addition, some essays identify the significance of a particular approach for contemporary debates, while others elucidate how specific philosophers of a later generation take their bearings from the insights of German idealists." -- Daniel O. Dahlstrom, Catholic University of America "The contributors are correct in their view that this takes up a subject that has been overlooked in studies of German Idealism, that is, there are discussions of the self in Hegel, but not traced out in the whole movement of German Idealism. The self is a topic in philosophy that needs more attention. These are original treatments on the subject and the book is itself insightful in bringing together essays on all of the major figures in this period of philosophy." -- Donald Phillip Verene, Candler Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy, Emory University "The range of interests represented in this book make it exemplary. It is hard to imagine a philosopher who would not find something of interest here, because the contributors, while reflecting scholarly concerns, are not inhibited by them from addressing topics of contemporary relevance." -- Robert Bernasconi, The University of Memphis
