The course of German philosophy in the twentieth century is one of
the most exciting and controversial in the history of human
thought. In this outstanding and engaging introduction, a companion
volume to his German Philosophy in the Twentieth Century: Weber to
Heidegger, Julian Young examines and assesses the way in which some
of the major German thinkers of the period reacted, often in
starkly contrasting ways, to the challenges posed by the nature of
modernity, the failure of liberalism and the concept of decline.
Divided into two parts exploring major intellectual figures of the
left and right respectively, Young introduces and assesses the
thought of the following figures: Georg Lukacs: the critique of
capitalism: alienation, reification, and false consciousness Ernst
Bloch: the Marxist utopia Walter Benjamin: the confluence of
phenomenology and left-wing thought: the Arcades Project, aura, and
the technological reproduction of the artwork Oswald Spengler: the
pessimistic right and the concept of Western decline Max Scheler:
Catholic conservatism and the 'objective hierarchy of values' Carl
Schmitt: the failure of liberalism, dictatorship, 'friends' versus
'enemies' Leo Strauss: the rejection of moral relativism and the
return to classical philosophy. Highly relevant when the viability
of liberal democracy is again called into question, German
Philosophy in the Twentieth Century: Lukacs to Strauss is essential
reading for students of German philosophy, phenomenology and
critical theory, and will also be of interest to students in
related fields such as literature, religious studies, and political
theory.
