The volume offers a different image of classical German philosophy with special reference to the topic of forms of knowledge. Concepts like "e;cognition,"e; "e;knowing,"e; and "e;belief"e; find their explication within different speculative frameworks and are investigated in more and less well-known authors, including but not limited to Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Fries, Eschenmeyer, and W. Humboldt.
