Abstract

The Meaning of Critical Philosophy in István Márton’s Compendium of Wilhelm Traugott Krug’s Philosophical Writings (1820) István (Mándi) Márton (1760–1831), a professor of philosophy and mathematics at the Pápa Reformed College, published in 1820 an abridged compendium in Latin of some philosophical writings of the then well-known German philosopher Wilhelm Traugott Krug (1770–1842), entitled Systema Philosophiae Criticae. The paper examines the root causes of Márton’s editorial undertaking. Why did he translate the works of a second-rank philosopher instead of choosing the critics of Immanuel Kant, whom he admired? According to the present inquiry, for Márton (just like for Krug) “critical philosophy” wasn’t just another name for Kant’s philosophy, but that of an eclectic approach to philosophy, which meant critical reviewing and measuring the validity of all philosophical theories by the principles of common sense. Therefore, Krug’s eclectic philosophical writings, which also consisted of a critical revision of Kant’s theories, were probably more appropriate subjects of translation for Márton than the works of Kant. This interpretation is confirmed here by Márton’s foreword as well as the frontispiece to his book, for both, in their own way, represent the idea of a public and antidogmatic philosophy.
