Summerell; Klaus Kahnert; Matthias Bloch.The volume Umbr�che - the German word means "radical changes" - presents not a seamless account of the many turning points in the history of philosophy, but instead contributions individually reflecting on both well-known and little regarded crises in the development of philosophical thought, including some whose promise was never fully realized. At issue are the following authors and Plato's epistemology and theory of language, Augustine's philosophy of nature and his critique of philosophy, Meister Eckhart's German sermon 21, Adam de Wodeham's, Hervaeus Natalis's and William of Ockham's revolutionary theories of science and ontology; atheistic tendencies in the 14th century; Niccol� Machiavelli's political philosophy; philosophical-historical deliberations on the concept of an 'epoch'; Kant's transcendental philosophy and its reception and change by Fichte; the significance of the French Revolution for Fichte's concept of freedom; the culmination of the Anselmian argument in Schelling's concept of what is 'beyond being'; Wilhelm von Humboldt's philosophy of language and Hugo Ball's reception of Dionysius Pseudo-Areopagita.
