We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Das Andere seiner selbst. Die Logik der Entwicklung Hegels von Schellings Identitätssystem zur Theorie des absoluten Geistes (Jena 1801–1805) by Dieter Henrich, edited by Niklas Jaenecke with a foreword by Manfred Frank (Klostermann, 2026).
From the publisher’s website:
In contrast to other philosophers who regularly sought the public and a wider audience, Dieter Henrich was one of those whose work was largely confined to the academy, where it developed a great radiance that also had an impact beyond the narrower boundaries of the discipline. His philosophical work was focussed predominantly on his writings on German idealism and his research into the great works of Fichte, Schelling, Hegel and Hölderlin. In these writings, Henrich developed his very own style of prudent detailed work, which remained integrated at all times into the overarching context of the idealistic constellation.
‘Das Andere seiner selbst’, edited from Henrich’s estate by Niklas Jaenecke and provided with a foreword by Manfred Frank, was written at the beginning of the 1980s and has since circulated in various forms as a manuscript among Henrich’s students and disciples. In this study Henrich explains how, at the beginning of the 19th century, a central figure of Hegel’s thought emerges in an important confrontation with Schelling’s system of identity . Henrich is thus able to show at which interface of German idealism the great idea of a system appears which the One is understood as distinct from itself.
