The first book that presents key original texts from the modern
German philosophical tradition to English-language students and
scholars of German, with introductions, commentaries, and
annotations that make them accessible. German-language thinkers
such as Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud are central to modernity.
Yet their reception in the English-speaking world has largely
depended on translations, a situation that has often hampered full
engagement with the rhetorical and philosophical complexity of the
German history of ideas. The present volume, the first of its kind,
is a response to this situation. After an introduction charting the
remarkable flowering of German-language thought since the
eighteenth century, it offers extracts - in the original German -
from sixteen major philosophical texts, with extensive
introductions and annotations in English. All extracts are
carefully chosen to introduce the individual thinkers while
allowing the reader to pursue broader themes such as the fate of
reason or the history of modern selfhood. The book offers students
and scholars of German a complement to linguistic, historical,
andliterary study by giving them access to the wealth of
German-language philosophy. It represents a new way into the work
of a succession of thinkers who have defined modern philosophy and
thus remain of crucial relevance today. The philosophers: Immanuel
Kant, G. W. F. Hegel, Ludwig Feuerbach, Karl Marx, Arthur
Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Martin Heidegger,
Walter Benjamin, Georg Lukacs, Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno,
Jurgen Habermas. Henk de Berg is Professor of German at the
University of Sheffield. Duncan Large is Professor of European
Literature and Translation at the University of East Anglia.
