The main German Idealists, who had been theology students,[11] reacted against Kant's stringent limits.[12] "It was Kant's criticism of all attempts to prove the existence of God which led to the romantic reaction of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel."[13] "Kant sets out to smash not only the proofs of God but the very foundations of Christian metaphysics, then turns around and 'postulates' God and the immortality of the soul, preparing the way for Fichte and idealism."[14] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3593.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3593.txt
