Eckart Förster, Grenzen der Erkenntnis? Untersuchungen zu Kant und dem Deutschen Idealismus, hrsg. v. Johannes Haag u. Bodo Beyer (=Spekulation und Erfahrung II,62), Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt: Frommann-Holzboog 2022, 490 Seiten, ISBN 978-3-7728-2932-1

This is a review of a volume comprising 18 of Eckart Förster’s most important essays. Written between 1987 and 2022, all of them touch upon the theme of limits of cognition. Among the issues tackled are Kant’s Opus Postumum, Goethe’s project of a scientia intuitiva or science of the intuitive understanding, the significance of §§76–77 of the third Critique for post-Kantianism, the case for Hölderlin’s authorship of the Oldest System-Programme of German Idealism, and Hegel’s early ideas on logic and phenomenology. My discussion of the volume focuses on three aspects. (i) I give a brief outline of its structure and goals; (ii) I investigate some of its highlights and central themes; and (iii) I place Förster’s picture of Kant and post-Kantianism within current scholarship and confront it with an alternative interpretive option: a reading of Kant as concerned with non-contrastive limits of cognition and intelligibility.
