Against the widespread idea that knowledge must transcend the first person to be objective, Sebastian Rödl explains in his new book that knowledge possesses objectivity only through its first-personal character. In doing so, he offers a surprising introduction to Absolute Idealism while simultaneously undermining a number of unquestionable concepts. This includes the notion that judgment is a propositional attitude and reasoning is a mental process, as well as the belief that there is an empirical science of the capacity for objective knowledge. Rödl demonstrates that all of these stem from the mistaken idea that the objectivity of knowledge is opposed to its first-personal character.
