Abstract

This article gives an analysis of the basic schemes and metaphors used to describe the evolution of German Idealism after Kant in Andrei Belyiʼs treatise Istoriia stanovleniia samosoznaiushchei dushi (ISSD). The article demonstrates that Belyiʼs understanding of the history of German idealistic philosophy depends on well-known Neo-Kantian histories of philosophy. It stresses the difference between the interpretations of the philosophical systems of Fichte, Schelling and Hegel held by Belyi and Rudolf Steiner, and highlights the use of imagery from the poetry of Heinrich Heine in Belyiʼs portrayal of German Idealism.
