Examines the evolution of the German idealist discussion with respect to an array of concepts. Emphasizing the unity between the logical and the historical, the distinction between intellectual and rational explanation, and the cognitive importance of contradiction, this book argues for the prospect of an evolving totality of reflective reason.
