Content:
The question of Kleist's reading and reception of Kant has never been satisfactorily answered. The present study pursues this question in light of Kant's rising importance for the humanities, arguing not only that Kleist was influenced by Kant, but also that he may be understood as a Kantian. It approaches Kleist not only as a writer, but also as a thinker, albeit one who conveys his thought through the locutions of fiction and the essay. Kleist thus becomes visible for the first time as an original contributor to post-Kantian thought
