Philosophy and Revolution - From Kant to Marx (Paperback)

Throughout the nineteenth century, German philosophy was haunted by
the specter of the French Revolution. Kant, Hegel and their
followers spent their lives wrestling with its heritage, trying to
imagine a specifically German path to modernity: a "revolution
without revolution." Trapped in a politically ossified society,
German intellectuals were driven to brood over the nature of the
revolutionary experience.
In this ambitious and original study, Stathis Kouvelakis paints a
rich panorama of the key intellectual and political figures in the
effervescence of German thought before the 1848 revolutions. He
shows how the attempt to chart a moderate, reformist path entered
into crisis, generating two antagonistic perspectives within the
progressive currents of German society. On the one side were those
socialists--among them Moses Hess and the young Friedrich
Engels--who sought to discover a principle of harmony in social
relations, bypassing the question of revolutionary politics. On the
other side, the poet Heinrich Heine and the young Karl Marx
developed a new perspective, articulating revolutionary rupture,
proletarian hegemony and struggle for democracy, thereby redefining
the very notion of politics itself.
