German philosophy remains the core of modern philosophy. Without
Kant, Frege, Wittgenstein, and Husserl there would be no
Anglo-American 'analytical' style of philosophy. Moreover, without
Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, the 'Continental
Philosophy' of Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, Badiou, and Zizek, which
has had major effects on humanities subjects in recent years, is
incomprehensible. Knowledge of German philosophy is, then, an
indispensable prerequisite of theoretically informed study in the
humanities as a whole. German Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction
discusses the idea that German philosophy forms one of the most
revealing responses to the problems of 'modernity'. The rise of the
modern natural sciences and the related decline of religion raises
a series of questions, which recur throughout German philosophy,
concerning the relationships between knowledge and faith, reason
and emotion, and scientific, ethical, and artistic ways of seeing
the world. There are also many significant philosophers who are
generally neglected in most existing English-language treatments of
German philosophy, which tend to concentrate on the canonical
figures. This Very Short Introduction will include reference to
these thinkers and suggests how they can be used to question more
familiar German philosophical thought. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very
Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains
hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized
books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas,
and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
