transcendentalism

Philosophy inaugurated in the 18th century by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. As opposed to metaphysics in the traditional sense, transcendental philosophy is concerned with the conditions of possibility of experience, rather than the nature of being. It seeks to show the necessary structure of our ‘point of view’ on the world.

Introduced to Britain, transcendentalism influenced the writers Samuel Coleridge and Thomas Carlyle.
