Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2002. xvi + 726 pp. Cloth, $59.95--Frederick Beiser's new work provides English readers a comprehensive and masterly explanation of the central forces that shaped the important philosophical movement known as German idealism. German Idealism (GI) is well written, exquisitely argued, and copiously researched. It easily outdistances much of the German scholarship and will serve as a benchmark for future English language scholarship. It is a must-read for scholars of the field, a helpful, accessible guide for the interested, and a valuable resource for all historians of philosophy.
