Abstract
The expression «German Idealism» often evokes the idea of a «golden age» within European
philosophical relection. This era is commonly placed between the end of the eighteenth century and the
irst half of the nineteenth, and it is characterized by an expounding, a rethinking, and even a correction
of Kant’s transcendental Idealism. Unavoidably the protagonists of this period are identiied with Fichte,
Schelling and Hegel, to whom are respectively matched the subjective, objective and absolute phases of
this Idealism. Such a schematic exposition, though useful for didactical goals, misses a great part of the
richness of a period whose chronological limitations cannot be so univocally ixed. Furthermore, it would
be too narrow to identify German Idealism with some of its most important igures. Instead, one should
delve into the cultural atmosphere that sets the stage for the multifarious debate that reveals the dynamic
nature of this age.
