Frommann-Holzboog Baumgarten: Ein Intellektuelles Portrat - Frommann-Holzboog

Explore the intellectual legacy of Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (1714-1762) in this scholarly study. While known as a prominent Wolffian, this work examines his independent originality beyond the foundation of aesthetics. This volume provides a detailed look at Baumgarten as an epistemologist, psychologist, and moral philosopher, moving him out of the shadow of Christian Wolff. Following the recent translation of the Metaphysica into German, this book offers an interpretive study of the key philosophical themes from the early Enlightenment. It serves as an essential resource for those studying the intellectual history of the period and the thinkers who influenced Immanuel Kant. This publication is part of the Forschungen Und Materialien Zur Deutschen Aufklarung series, making it a significant addition to any academic library focused on German philosophy and Enlightenment studies.
