Short description:

The Palgrave Handbook of German Idealism and Poststructuralism offers a wide-ranging dialogue between theory and German Idealism, joining up the various lines of influence connecting German Idealist and Romantic philosophies in all their variety to post-'68 European philosophies, from Derrida and Deleuze to Žižek and Malabou.

Key features:

• Provides in-depth reflections on the various conversations between German Idealism and theory, including an expanded canon of Idealist philosophers and a wide range of contemporary anti-foundationalist thinkers.
• Includes marginalized voices and concepts that reflect both contemporary concerns as well as the sheer abundance of readings of German Idealism undertaken by European theorists over the last fifty years.
• Expands the existing scholarship by focusing on new, future directions emerging out of the idealism-theory relationship.

The Palgrave Handbook of German Idealism and Poststructuralism is essential reading for researchers and students of all levels ? from senior scholars to advanced undergraduates ? working on the legacy of German Idealist philosophers within philosophy departments, as well as all those interested in theory from across the humanities.
