Summary/Abstract: The paper elucidates and compares Johannes Volkelt’s and Heinrich Rickert’s positions on the problem of metaphysics. It presents an analysis of views representative of the metaphysical approach of early neo-Kantian Johannes Volkelt and representative of Baden School of late Neo-Kantian, Heinrich Rickert. In the article I would like to make the reconstruction and the analysis of philosophies of Volkelt and Rickert in the context of the problem of metaphysics. The object is the content, premises and consequences of their philosophy in comparison to Neo-Kantian and other philosophies. The basis for the reconstruction are their expressions in their various writings. The purpose is the analysis of the transformation of Western metaphysics and their influence on the contemporary thinking about the world.
