One of the richest and most heterogeneous periods in the history of Western philosophy, German Idealism is a decisive moment in the epistemological course of knowledges as varied and apparently unrelated as Anthropology, Philosophy, Poetry, Law, and Aesthetics. And yet, it is still relatively unapproached, more often than not left in the shadow of other philosophical ages, or figures, at the expense of several of its distinguishing authors, theoretical movements, literary associations, indeed of paramount relevance, but today almost forgotten. The present colloquium, entitled “Remapping Constellations. A Revisitation of German Idealism”, is aimed at describing an opposite route, if not exactly remapping, at least unearthing the old constellations which render German Idealism a period almost unparalelled in importance.
