The nineteenth century is a period of stunning philosophical
originality, characterised by radical engagement with the emerging
human sciences. Often overshadowed by twentieth century philosophy
which sought to reject some of its central tenets, the philosophers
of the nineteenth century have re-emerged as profoundly important
figures.
The Routledge Companion to Nineteenth Century Philosophy is an
outstanding survey and assessment of the century as a whole.
Divided into seven parts and including thirty chapters written by
leading international scholars, the Companion examines and assesses
the central topics, themes, and philosophers of the nineteenth
century, presenting the first comprehensive picture of the period
in a single volume:
- German Idealism
- philosophy as political action, including young Hegelians, Marx
and Tocqueville
- philosophy and subjectivity, including Schopenhauer,
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche
- scientific naturalism, including Darwinism, philosophy of race,
experimental psychology and Neo-Kantianism
- utilitarianism and British Idealism
- American Idealism and Pragmatism
- new directions in Mind and Logic, including Brentano, Frege and
Husserl.
The Routledge Companion to Nineteenth Century Philosophy is
essential reading for students of philosophy, and for anyone
interested in this period in related disciplines such as politics,
history, literature and religion.
