      abstract = {Kant declared that philosophy began in 1781 with his  Critique of Pure Reason. In 1806 Hegel announced that  philosophy had now been completed. Eckart Förster examines  the reasons behind these claims and assesses the steps that  led in such a short time from Kant's "beginning" to Hegel's  "end." He concludes that, in an unexpected yet significant  sense, both Kant and Hegel were indeed right.The  Twenty-Five Years of Philosophy follows the unfolding of a  key idea during this exceptionally productive period: the  Kantian idea that philosophy can be scientific and,  consequently, can be completed. Förster's study combines  historical research with philosophical insight and leads  him to propose a new thesis. The development of Kant's  transcendental philosophy in his three Critiques, Förster  claims, resulted in a fundamental distinction between  "intellectual intuition" and "intuitive understanding."  Overlooked until now, this distinction yields two takes on  how to pursue philosophy as science after Kant. One line of  thought culminates in Fichte's theory of freedom  (Wissenschaftslehre), while the other-and here Förster  brings Goethe's significance to the fore-results in  Goethe's transformation of the Kantian idea of an intuitive  understanding in light of Spinoza's third kind of  knowledge. Both strands are brought together in Hegel and  propel his split from Schelling. Förster's work makes an  original contribution to our understanding of the classical  era of German philosophy-an expanding interest within the  Anglophone philosophical community.},
