Abstract

This chapter presents an in-depth look at the most prominent representative of a Kantian direction. However, he adhered not to the letter of the Kantian Critiques, but to their spirit and sought a shorter way to what he considered the same goal. His student and later colleague dramatically differed and opposed Kant both in letter and spirit.
