The Fate of Reason is the first general history devoted to the period between Kant and Fichte, one of the most revolutionary and fertile in modern philosophy. The philosophers of this time broke with the two central tenets of the modern Cartesian tradition: the authority of reason and the primacy of epistemology. They also witnessed the decline of the Aufklärung, the completion of Kant’s philosophy, and the beginnings of post-Kantian idealism.
Thanks to Frederick C. Beiser we can newly appreciate the influence of Kant’s critics on the development of his philosophy. Beiser brings the controversies, and the personalities who engaged in them, to life and tells a story that has uncanny parallels with the debates of the present.
Frederick C. Beiser is Professor of Philosophy at Syracuse University.

- "Lessing was essentially a vehicle for Jacobi's criticisms of the Berlin Aufklärer, and in particular Mendelssohn, whom he rightly regarded as their leader…In his [Jacobi's] eyes this group represented a form of intellectual tyranny and dogmatism no better than the Catholic Church. It was nothing mor"
- "Jacobi had an interesting diagnosis of this hypocrisy. The Berliners [the Aufklärer in Berlin] could not take inquiry and criticism to his limits, he charged, because they were 'utilitarians'. They valued philosophy not for its own sake, but only as a means to an end. This end was nothing more nor l"

- "后来，门德尔松在他的《晨课》中捍卫了斯宾诺莎为反对雅可比而进行的重新解释，因为雅可比重申了虔敬派的论证。"
- "他并没有感到失望的是，斯宾诺莎为他澄清了笛卡尔的证明；但是，更重要的是，斯宾诺莎还教导他“如何证明上帝”（for what God）才是有效的。据推测，这个上帝不亚于斯宾诺莎的上帝，斯宾诺莎的上帝是唯一普遍的实体，所有其他一切仅仅是一种样式。"
