A Kantian climate at the Lycée Condorcet Darlu, the Revue de métaphysique et de morale, Brunschvicg, and idealism

The study of the context in which Proust became familiar with Kantian philosophy offers an opportunity to consider some characteristic elements of the reception of Kantianism in France at the end of the nineteenth century. By examining the references to Kant in the philosophy course taught by Proust’s teacher Alphonse Darlu at the Lycée Condorcet, as well as in the Revue de métaphysique et de morale, we can perceive, from Darlu to Léon Brunschvicg, the various nuances of idealism derived from Kant.
