Im Zentrum des ersten Bandes des Internationalen Jahrbuchs des Deutschen Idealismus stehen die Begründungsformen in der klassischen deutschen Philosophie nach Kant. Ausgehend von der kritischen Philosophie Kants hat sich im Deutschen Idealismus ein radikaler Wandel in der philosophischen Theoriebildung vollzogen, der zu völlig neuen Begriffs- und Argumentationsformen führte. Dieser Wandel und seine Wirkungen bis in die Philosophie der Gegenwart sind bis heute noch nicht hinreichend aufgeklärt. In elf Beiträgen gehen führende Vertreter der Idealismus-Forschung in Deutschland und den USA den Bedingungen und Ausprägungen der neuen Rationalitätskonzepte im Deutschen Idealismus nach.

The first volume of the International Yearbook of German Idealism focuses on the forms of reasoning that characterize classical German philosophy as developed by Kant. Subsequent to Kant's critical philosophy, philosophical theory formation in German idealism underwent a radical shift that led to completely new forms of conceptualization and argumentation. This change and its effects all the way through to contemporary philosophy have still not been adequately clarified. Written by leading researchers from Germany and the United States, the eleven chapters of this book explore the background and attributes of the new concepts of rationality in German Idealism.

Frederick C. Beiser, one of the leading scholars of German Idealism, is a Professor of Philosophy at Syracuse University. Prior to joining Syracuse, he was a member of the faculty at Indiana University, Bloomington where he received a 1999-2000 NEH Faculty Fellowship. He has also taught at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Harvard and Yale University. Beiser earned his DPhil. degree from Oxford University under the direction of Charles Taylor and Isaiah Berlin.

Beiser's first book, The Fate of Reason: German Philosophy from Kant to Fichte (Harvard, 1987) was widely influential in revising the commonly held, but notorious accounts of German Idealism. In this book, Beiser sought to reconstruct the background of German Idealism through the narration of the story of the Spinoza or Pantheism controversy. Consequently, a great many figures, whose importance was hardly recognized by the English speaking philosophers, were given their proper due.
Beiser has also written on the German Romantics and 19th century British philosophy.
