neo-Kantianism  

Definition

  • Neo-Kantianism broadly refers to a philosophical movement mainly in Germany and France beginning in the second half of the 19th century, peaking between 1880 and 1910 and declining after World War I. As the name of this movement suggests, the members of this movement intended to revive the spirit (not the letter) of Immanuel Kant's philosophy in various manners. This adherence to Kant is remarkable, for three reasons. [Source: Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Social Sciences; Neo-Kantianism]
