Responses to Kant’s Critiques
1. Johann Gottlieb Fichte
2. Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
3. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
4. All sought to rectify subjective vs. objective knowledge
5. Enlightenment vs. Post Enlightenment Thought
6. Kant attacked metaphysics and sought to create an inseparable barrier between Faith and Reason.
7. Schelling and Hegel are Lutherans that ascribed to “inner freedom”. And the French Revolution externalized that “inner freedom”.

Meaning of Idealism – The word “idealism” has more than one meaning. The philosophical meaning of idealism here is that the properties we discover in objects depend on the way that those objects appear to us as perceiving subjects, and not something they possess “in themselves,” apart from our experience of them. The very notion of a “thing in itself” should be understood as an option of a set of functions for an operating mind, such that we consider something that appears without respect to the specific manner in which it appears. The question of what properties a thing might have “independently of the mind” is thus incoherent for Idealism[citation needed][
