NEO-KANTIANISM

A philosophical movement opposing mid-19th century materialism and idealism, developing from kant's epistemology, considering the thing-in-itself as a borderline concept and emphasizing normative considerations in ethics and jurisprudence.

Example: "Fischer was earlier involved in a dispute with the aristotelian friedrich adolf trendelenburg concerning the interpretation of the results of the transcendental aesthetic, a dispute that prompted hermann cohen's 1871 seminal work kants theorie der erfahrung, a book often regarded as the foundation of 20th century neo-kantianism."
