German philosophy and critical breakthroughs

The lesson that Western philosophy, specifically modern or contemporary German philosophy, offers is a lesson of criticality par excellence, for critique is not a trait exclusive to Kantian philosophy alone, which has influenced university curricula and research to consider it fundamentally critical. It is true that Kant inaugurated a critical Enlightenment era under the banner of using reason boldly, but the trait of critique as questioning the philosophical subject and its content has remained attached to German thought throughout its historical layers. There is nothing above critique or "meta-critique"; all that exists are accumulations that have been sanctified through historical work. Philosophical reason in Germany will be liberated from the grip of preconceptions and axioms. It is a construction of a new revelation and an epistemological sacrifice based on previous data. It is questioning, interrogation, unveiling, and critique—an mechanism that will propel German thought, compared to others, to achieve noticeable progress in the fields of knowledge or at least in establishing the roots of ideas and issues that have not been previously addressed.
