Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. J. Muirhead, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Birmingham, has issued a popular little work on the relation of German Philosophy to the present War. So much has recently been written by English writers against German philosophy - conceived vaguely as a whole - that we are apt to forget that there is as much "German Philosophy" in England or France as in Germany. Professional philosophers in these countries are, of course, quite aware of the fact; so, they are beginning at last to defend German philosophy while denouncing German politics. It is a delicate position to hold amid the fierce prejudices and extremist hatred bred by war. Any such attempt to exercise fairness and discrimination deserves respect and sympathy.Professor Muirhead holds that militarism and imperialism "are not the offspring of what is commonly known as German Philosophy, but on the contrary are the legitimate issue of a violent reaction against all that German Philosophy properly stands for." Thus, for him German philosophy is synonymous with the ideas of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel - though, of course, he grudgingly admits that each of these is both inconsistent with himself and irreconcilable with the others. Still, he holds, they agreed in a certain high-souled idealism which is the antithesis of militarism and materialism. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Haeckel, and such like are those who really sowed the needs of militarism. It may be so. But one cannot help remembering Fichte's perfervid expositions of the destiny of the German nation and Hegel's exaggerated doctrine of the State. Also, the Rationalist Press Association, which is the English equivalent of Haeckel's Monistenbund, has been fiercely denouncing German ideas. Thus, it would seem that idealists attribute the war to naturalism and naturalist-philosophers attribute it to idealism.It appears to the present reviewer that both sides err by opposite extremes. The conditions which make war possible are due to that idealess selfishness which puts individual interests before those of society, which values the ambitions of a nation more than the peace of Europe. And this ruthless selfishness of individual and class and nation is the outcome of a creedless ethic. The attempt to construct morality without historical Christianity is common alike to "German Philosophy" and to German Anti-Philosophy. The idealist sees the mote in his naturalist confrère's eye, but what about the beam in his own? - A. J. R., An Irish Quarterly Review, Vol. 4, No. 14.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Philosophy in Relation to the War Since the death of Hegel. There is thus a danger of doing grave injustice to what was in essence a great constructive effort of thought by associating it with the present orgy of violence and ruthless destruction. That the danger is a real one is proved by the fact that before the war was many weeks old letters appeared in The Times seeking to discredit the whole movement of German speculation and the higher criticism that to a large degree sprang out of it on precisely this ground. The confusion was pointed out by several writers (among others by myself) at the time. But the subject seemed to me important enough to deserve fuller treatment than was possible in the columns of The Times, and the lectures that follow were delivered in this University with that object. That I should be able to give an even passable account of anything so complicated as the movement of thought in Germany in the nineteenth century in so short a space, even though I had been competent to attempt it, was not of course to be expected. What I sought to do was, in the first place, to set the debt which philosophy, and through it civilization, owes to the series of great thinkers from Kant to Hegel in the simplest and clearest light; secondly, to indicate some of.

Download or read book A Short History of German Philosophy written by Vittorio Hösle and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of German philosophy from the Middle Ages to today In an accessible narrative that explains complex ideas in clear language, Vittorio Hösle traces the evolution of German philosophy and describes its central influence on other aspects of German culture, including literature, politics, and science, from the Middle Ages to today. A Short History of German Philosophy addresses the philosophical changes brought about by Luther’s Reformation, and then presents a detailed account of German philosophy from Leibniz to Kant; the rise of a new form of humanities; and the German Idealists. The following chapters investigate the collapse of the German synthesis in Schopenhauer, Marx, and Nietzsche. Turning to the twentieth century, the book explores the rise of analytical philosophy; the foundation of the historical sciences; Husserl’s phenomenology and its radical alteration by Heidegger; the Nazi philosophers Gehlen and Schmitt; and the main West German philosophers after 1945. Arguing that there was a distinctive German philosophical tradition from the mid-eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth century, the book closes by examining why that tradition largely ended in the recent past. A philosophical history remarkable for its scope, brevity, and lucidity, this is an invaluable book for students of philosophy and anyone interested in German intellectual and cultural history.

Download or read book Genealogies of the Secular written by Willem Styfhals and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a historical and philosophical overview of the twentieth-century German debates on secularization, and their significance for contemporary discussions about the relationship between theology and modernity. While the concept of secularization is traditionally used to define the nature of modern culture, and sometimes to uncover the theological origins of secular modernity, its validity is being questioned ever more radically today. Genealogies of the Secular returns to the historical, intellectual, and philosophical roots of this concept in the twentieth-century German debates on religion and modernity, and presents a wide range of strategies that German thinkers have applied to apprehend the connection between religion and secularism. In fundamentally heterogeneous ways, these strategies all developed “genealogies of the secular” by tracing modern phenomena back to their religious or theological roots. This book aims to disclose the complex prehistory of the contemporary debates on political theology and postsecularism, and to show how prominent thinkers continue this German tradition today. It explores and assesses the classic theories of secularization that are epitomized in Carl Schmitt’s writings on political theology, but also addresses German philosophers whose work has been rarely associated with secularization, including Walter Benjamin, Ernst Cassirer, Martin Heidegger, Immanuel Kant, and Hannah Arendt. Attention is also paid to two thinkers whose role in these discourses has not been fully explored yet: Jacob Taubes and Jan Assmann. By introducing their thinking on religion, politics, and secularization, the book also makes two of their own key texts available to an English-language readership. “What makes the book so valuable pedagogically is the clarity and scope of its synthetic gestures about the dense questions congealing around the topic of secularization. It offers a pronouncement of central significance, emerging from some of the most important contemporary voices in these fields. The scholarship is internationally informed and engaged, even as it feels vibrant, immediate, and agenda setting.” — Ward Blanton, University of Kent, Canterbury

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exceptional collection of letters, postcards, original writings, and photographs The First World War witnessed an unprecedented mobilization of philosophers and their families: as soldiers at the front; as public figures on the home front; as nurses in field hospitals; as mothers and wives; as sons and fathers. In Germany, the war irrupted in the midst of the rapid growth of Edmund Husserl's phenomenological movement – widely considered one of the most significant philosophical movements in twentieth century thought. Philosophers at the Frontoffers a documentary history of phenomenology in the First World War. Through an exceptional collection of primary source materials (letters, postcards, original writings, photographs) from the Husserl Archives in Leuven, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, and the Archives of the University of Göttingen, the complex narratives of how the war affected the lives and thought of central figures in the phenomenological movement are charted. Key figures such as Edmund Husserl, his sons Wolfgang and Gerhart, Max Scheler, Edith Stein, Adolf Reinach, Martin Heidegger, and others are included in this collection of materials. The volume includes reproductions of original material, as well as German transcription of all texts and their English translation.
