Following an era of Hegelianism, the members of the neo-Kantian "Marburg School," such as Friedrich Albert Lange, Hermann Cohen, Rudolf Stammler, Paul Natorp, and Ernst Cassirer defended socialism or left-wing ideals on Kantian principles. In doing so, Widmer breaks with two mistaken assumptions. First, Widmer demonstrates that the left-Hegelian and Marxist traditions were not the only significant philosophical sources of socialist critique in nineteenth-century Germany, as the left-Kantians identified problems of normativity that the left-Hegelians could not adequately address. Second, Widmer challenges the prevailing assumption that the political philosophies developed in the Marburg School can be comprehensively characterized as a unified school of "ethical socialism." By showing that they varied fundamentally regarding their political views and their philosophical foundations of socialism, Widmer fills a gap in the studies of neo-Kantianism that is long overdue.New Studies in the History and Historiography of Philosophy SeriesPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / ModernbisacshNeo-Kantianism.alternatives to Marxism.history of western philosophy.social and political thought.PHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Modern.193Widmer Elisabeth Theresia1440105MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996565568703316Left-Kantianism in the Marburg School3602680UNISA
