After Hegel
"This is an invaluable exercise in broadening one's historical and cultural understanding; one should think twice about the traditional view that 1840-1900 is a period of only transforming Hegelianism into Marxism and Existentialism. Ironically, then, Beiser's lesson about the history of 19th century postHegelian Philosophy in Germany is a Hegelian one. The traditional narrative is onesided, and one ought to be thankful for the clear and engaging way Beiser reveals this."--Paul Giladi, Marx and Philosophy "Beiser is arguably the most prolific and informative historian working on nineteenth-century German philosophy in the English language today... [His] work is to be commended for its clarity of writing, historical accuracy and scholarly research."--Borna Radnik, Radical Philosophy
Histories of German philosophy in the nineteenth century typically focus on its first half--when Hegel, idealism, and Romanticism dominated. By contrast, the remainder of the century, after Hegel's death, has been relatively neglected because it has been seen as a period of stagnation and decline. Les mer
Schopenhauer and Wilhelm Dilthey play important roles in these controversies but so do many neglected figures, including Ludwig Buchner, Eugen Duhring, Eduard von Hartmann, Julius Fraunstaedt, Hermann Lotze, Adolf Trendelenburg, and two women, Agnes Taubert and Olga Pluemacher, who have been completely forgotten in histories of philosophy. The result is a wide-ranging, original, and surprising new account of German philosophy in the critical period between Hegel and the twentieth century.
