German idealism  

Definition

  • In the history of modern philosophy, the period known as German Idealism refers primarily to the thinking of Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762–1849), Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling (1775–1854), and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831). These authors raised the question of the universality of logos, using reason comprehensively to understand reality. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Theory; German Idealism]
