This volume—arising from the PRIN project “Philosophical Reviews in German Territories (1688–1799)”—explores the philosophical review as a central practice in early modern and Enlightenment German intellectual culture. Drawing on the Gelehrte Journale, the essays show that reviews were not secondary summaries but active sites of debate, canon formation, and knowledge production. Through case studies from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz to Johann Gottlieb Fichte, the contributions highlight how reviews shaped reception, mediated controversies, and linked philosophy to its social and political contexts. Reviews thus emerge as a conceptual battlefield where modern philosophy was constructed.
