Hölderlin: Subjects apprehend being first - Rejects A=A thesis - Subjectivity and Objectivity emerge together - Primordial Division of Being - We achieve Unity with the world through spontaneity and responsiveness. In sum, Hölderlin answers the Kantian Paradox by positing it as a necessary condition for self-consciousness that is overcome indirectly, through Art.

Terry Pinkard uses the "Kantian Paradox", that is, the paradox of autonomy, as an anchor that grounds his history to a particular theme. While this paradox was originally restricted to Kant's ethical philosophy, Pinkard argues that the paradox has a wider scope in that it becomes a central theme in German Idealism more broadly.
