This book is a comprehensive introduction to German philosophy, from Kant to the present day. Combining general exposition with detailed textual commentary, it is a scholarly and invaluable aid not only for undergraduate students, but also for anyone who wishes to study one of the richest traditions of Western philosophy. The book focuses on the key figures and major texts of German philosophy. Separate chapters are devoted to Kant, Hegel, Schelling, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. Roberts also deals extensively with the Marxist tradition, with chapters on Feuerbach, Lukács, and Adorno. This wide-ranging work is drawn together by a set of interrelated themes. Roberts argues that Kant may be seen as the principal source of modern metaphysics, and his heirs as branching off into two opposing streams. This approach enables Roberts to trace some of the underlying connections and oppositions between the major figures of German thought. "German Philosophy" is written in a lively and accessible style. It will be of interest to students of philosophy, of the social sciences, and of European thought and literature.
