Dutch translation of J.G. Fichte: Über den Begriff der Wissenschaftslehre (1794)
How is it possible that a person can be regarded as a voluntary subject of her own actions – be they good or evil? The book approaches this question by analyzing prominent answers given in and after Kant – by Karl Leonhard Reinhold,... more
This paper aims at showing that Karl Leonhard Reinhold’s theory of representation and consciousness constitutes a link between Kantianism and the further developments of idealism. By retracing the presence of Reinhold in the young Hegel’s... more
In his 1795 essay, Briefe über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen, Friedrich Schiller presents his theory of aesthetic experience in the context of two competing drives (material and formal) that characterize life as a whole. This... more

According to Kant’s “reciprocity thesis” (Allison), a free will and a will under moral laws are one and the same. This raises the question of whether a will that is not under moral laws can still be considered free and its actions... more
2020_ETS. Vi è nell’opera di Kant un punto di vista a partire dal quale la filosofia critica, e nello specifico la fondamentale questione della sintesi a priori, possa essere compresa e spiegata in maniera persino più chiara e diretta... more

1799 is the year of the "atheism dispute" on Fichte's philosophy. In this dispute Karl Leonhard Reinhold took part with his open letter Sendschreiben an J. C. Lavater und J. G. Fichte über den Glauben an Gott, a text that has to be read... more
Karl Leonhard Reinhold ist der Mann, der zwischen 1786 und 1787 mit seinen Briefen über die Kantische Philosophie im Teutschen Mer-kur die kritische Philosophie überhaupt erst auf die Agenda der zeit-genössischen philosophischen Debatte... more
This book argues that Fichte’s philosophy is an investigation of the concept of philosophy leading to the replacement of the name φιλοσοφία by the name Wissenschaftslehre. Such a replacement is the result of his reception of Kant's... more
Die Literaturgeschichte der Philosophie 1 ist noch keineswegs ausreichend erforscht. Das Genre der Antrittsrede – durchaus bis heute bedeutsam 2-stellt eine besondere Gattung dar, deren Analyse daher manchen Aufschluß kultur-und... more
In diesem Aufsatz stelle ich eine neue Interpretation der Reinhold’schen Sprachphilosophie vor. Mein Ziel ist es zu erklären, wie Reinhold der Meinung sein konnte, seine Sprachphilosophie stelle, ebenso wie seine Elementarphilosophie, den... more
