Otto Liebmann
Quick Summary
Otto Liebmann was a German philosopher known for his role in the Neo-Kantian movement. In 1865, he published Kant und die Epigonen ("Kant and his Followers"), which was a significant call to return to the philosophical ideas of Immanuel Kant. This work aimed to steer German thought away from Romantic idealism and out of what he perceived as a positivistic "morass". Liebmann's work contributed to various currents within Neo-Kantianism, including metaphysical and axiological interpretations of Kant's philosophy.12
