Excerpt from Coleridge's Idealism: A Study of Its Relationship to Kant and to the Cambriage Platonists

There are obvious reasons why this source has been almost wholly ignored. Interest has centered around the controversy of Coleridge's borrowings from the German philosophers, especially Kant and Schelling, which were cer tainly too seldom and too reluctantly acknowledged. More over, these philosophers are better known than their more humble predecessors in philosophical idealism. But it is late enough to investigate Coleridge's relation to those who were prior to the Germans in their in¿uence Upon him, and who not only prepared him for the continental idealists, but also themselves made a permanent contribution to his thought. It will be possible to determine the proportions of German and English in¿uence in Coleridge's idealism only after an investigation of his relation to the English idealists who preceded him.
