This dissertation examines the thought of Theodor W. Adorno and Walter Benjamin in critical constellation with German Idealism, specifically G.W.F. Hegel and F.W.J. Schelling. I explore how Adorno and Benjamin deconstruct and refashion Idealist notions, while also providing the post-Idealist theoretical armature to read Idealism in speculative directions. Through this mosaic, I pose questions regarding the actuality of philosophy, considering how thought might open itself towards a fuller spectrum of experience, while nonetheless remaining systematic, creating new (inter)disciplinary models of philosophy which tarry with the para-philosophical domains of art and nature. In the first part of this project, I provide a critical exegesis of Adorno, whom I locate as a fundamentally "post-Idealist" thinker, one who works through, while extending, German Idealism's central problematics. I elaborate Adorno's impossible hope for philosophy in relation to crisis, elaborating ruin, conflict, and "natural history" as the motivating elements of Adorno's negative dialectic. I then survey Adorno's contestation of philosophy's absolute autarky by way of disciplinary conflicts with sociology and psychoanalysis, along with the ur-conflict Adorno opens between philosophy and artaesthetics. The second part of this project takes up the early writings of Benjamin (~1928), whom I position as elaborating an expanded, though nonetheless transcendental, philosophy of experience via a meta-critical expansion of the Kantian program into the domain of language (which comes to be understood in a mimetic and medial sense). Though Benjamin's attempts to found a novel "coming philosophy" began with Kant, the limitations of the (neo) Kantian epistemic conception of philosophy led Benjamin to enter the "force-field" of post-Kantian Idealism, developing his own mortuary romantic conception of philosophy, via the speculative potentiation of the Fruhromantiker, Goethe, and the Baroque poets. In summation, I present a reading of Benjamin's Trauerspiel centering on notions of allegory and natural history, ideas which provide the foundational contours of his natural-historical philosophy of transience. Part three of this project takes up the work of Schelling and Hegel respectively, thinkers whom I read "without absolutes," that is, as theorists that problematize the final unity of philosophy by way of nature and aesthetics. I explore Schelling as a thinker for whom the "original diremption" of nature continually troubles the constancy of thought, resulting in a negative dialectical mode of organization in which autonomous members threaten any possible philosophical system. My final chapter elaborates my own ruined reading of Hegel, which methodologically follows the (Hegelian) interventions of Bataille. I elevate nature and aesthetics as "phantasmatic domains"-or prisms-which can be employed to productively refract the Hegelian program, reading his (supposedly) panlogicist corpus against the grain.
