n French philosophy, where history of philosophy is taken very seriously, Philonenko is widely acknowledged as the most important historian of Philosophy of his generation, one of the most important now working anywhere in the world. His main field of predilection is German idealism. Particularly Fichte, with additional writings on Rousseau, German neo-Kantianism, Schopenhauer and Feuerbach.
