Fichte, Schelling and Hegel rejected transcendental idealism

			Full Idea: Fichte, Schelling and Hegel were united in their opposition to Kant's Transcendental Idealism.
			From: Peter B. Lewis (Schopenhauer [2012], 3)
			A reaction: That is, they preferred genuine idealism, to the mere idealist attitude Kant felt that we are forced to adopt.

21911

Fichte, Hegel and Schelling developed versions of Absolute Idealism

			Full Idea: At the University of Jena, Fichte, Hegel and Schelling critically developed aspects of Kant's philosophy, each in his own way, thereby giving rise to the movement known as Absolute Idealism, see reality as universal God-like self-consciousness.
			From: Peter B. Lewis (Schopenhauer [2012], 2)
			A reaction: Is asking how anyone can possibly have believed such a bizarre and ridiculous idea a) uneducated, b) stupid, c) unimaginative, or d) very sensible? It sounds awfully like Spinoza's concept of God. Also Anaxagoras.
