The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that in his late essay Der Gedanke, published in the Beitraegen zur Philosophie des Deutschen Idealismus in 1918, Frege presents several considerations that can be understood as contributions to Kantian and ,idealistic' topics and problems indeed. Accordingly, the following claims are developed: 1. Frege's theory of truth can be regarded as compatible with the one established by Kant in his Critique of Pure Reason. 2. Frege's critical side glance at ,humanities' (Geisteswissenschaften) and their truth-valence, which can also be interpreted as a criticism of Dilthey, in a way follows Windelband's epistemological challenge of the differentiation between humanities and natural sciences (Geistes- and Naturwissenschaften). 3. In contrast to Hegel and the position he develops in the Phaenomenologie des Geistes, Frege argues that linguistic-notional expressions, even ones with deictic elements, can have a distinct, indexical meaning. 4. Presumably based on Fechner and therefore possibly on ,idealistic' examples, Frege preserves the possibility of a godly overall consciousness. 5. Frege's anti-skeptical refutation of the idea that the ,,I" is only a representation (Vorstellung) and does fall into a regress, is based on a line of thought that can already be found in Fichte's philosophy.

  • The journal Zeitschrift für philosophische Forschung, appearing since 1946, is among the most important academic German language journals. It is open to all topics, approaches, and positions of philosophical thought. Given the increasing differentiation and specialization of the field, it thus constitutes a forum offering its various disciplines the opportunity for mutual recognition and exchange. The articles published in it are subject to an anonymous peer review in which internationally renowned scholars of all areas of contemporary philosophical research participate.

    Die seit 1946 erscheinende Zeitschrift für philosophische Forschung gehört zu den wichtigsten deutschsprachigen Fachzeitschriften und steht allen Themen, Richtungen und Positionen der philosophischen Forschung offen. Angesichts der zunehmenden Ausdifferenzierung und Spezialisierung des Faches bietet sie damit auch ein Forum, in dem die verschiedenen Teildisziplinen sich gegenseitig wahrnehmen und in ein gemeinsames Gespräch kommen können. Die in ihr publizierten Abhandlungen durchlaufen ein anonymes Begutachtungsverfahren, an dem international anerkannte Forscher aus allen Spezialgebieten der gegenwärtigen philosophischen Forschung beteiligt sind.
