We are glad to give notice of Wittgenstein and Classical German Philosophy, edited by Alexander Berg and Denys Kaidalov (De Gruyter, 2025).
From the publisher’s website:
The contributors in this volume situate Wittgenstein’s philosophy within the context of Kant, Hegel, Fichte, and Schelling. They show how his philosophy both stands in the tradition of German idealism while breaking new ground. The topics of logic and language make this tension especially palpable and allow the authors to reveal new connections and offer critical perspectives.
