110. The nineteenth century was full of important developments in European intellectual history, especially in Germany, that are worthy of consideration. This is particularly true in both philosophy and theology, and I have had to omit some significant figures and movements in the interest of focus. The first and most obvious omission is Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768–1834), an important figure in Barth’s development and critic of Kant’s but who is less significant for developments in neo-Kantianism in particular. Schleiermacher scholarship, furthermore, has emphasized closer affinities between him and Spinoza and Schelling rather than Kant. See, for instance, Lamm, Living God, esp. 159–98; Brandt, Philosophy of Schleiermacher, 37. Another omission is the German Romantic tradition in general, which shared some mutual concerns with neo-Kantianism but not enough to merit lengthy consideration in this chapter. On these shared concerns, see in particular Beiser, Romantic Imperative. Arthur Schopenhauer is another omission that was more directly involved in responding to Kant after his death and also criticizing Hegel, but he is an outlier in the traditions I am accounting for in this chapter and also had little bearing on Barth’s later development. Schopenhauer responds most forthrightly to Kant in the appendix to the first volume of Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, 1:509–651; see also Magee, Philosophy of Schopenhauer, 271n85. Finally, later influential neo-Kantians, such as Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger, have been omitted because Barth had abandoned the movement by the time they came into prominence. Cassirer and Heidegger’s meeting in Davos, Switzerland, which not only settled the fate of neo-Kantianism but changed the course of twentieth-century philosophy, has been addressed recently and exhaustively by Gordon in Continental Divide, 43–86, 136–214.
