Book excerpt: “[A] fascinating and accessible account . . . In his entertaining book, Mr. Eilenberger shows that his magicians’ thoughts are still worth collecting, even if, with hindsight, we can see that some performed too many intellectual conjuring tricks.” —Wall Street Journal A grand narrative of the intertwining lives of Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Ernst Cassirer, major philosophers whose ideas shaped the twentieth century The year is 1919. The horror of the First World War is fresh for the protagonists of Time of the Magicians, each of whom finds himself at a crucial juncture. Benjamin is trying to flee his overbearing father and floundering in his academic career, living hand to mouth as a critic. Wittgenstein, by contrast, has dramatically decided to divest himself of the monumental fortune he stands to inherit, in search of spiritual clarity. Meanwhile, Heidegger, having managed to avoid combat in war by serving as a meteorologist, is carefully cultivating his career. Finally, Cassirer is working furiously on the margins of academia, applying himself to his writing and the possibility of a career at Hamburg University. The stage is set for a great intellectual drama, which will unfold across the next decade. The lives and ideas of this extraordinary philosophical quartet will converge as they become world historical figures. But as the Second World War looms on the horizon, their fates will be very different.

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.

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.
Download or read book Street Life and Morals written by Lesley Chamberlain and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With resonance for today, this book explores a significant crisis of German philosophy and national identity in the decades around World War II. German philosophy, famed for its high-minded Idealism, was plunged into crisis when Germany became an urban and industrial society in the late nineteenth century. The key figure of this shift was Immanuel Kant: seen for a century as the philosophical father of the nation, Kant seemed to lack crucial answers for violent and impersonal modern times. This book shows that the social and intellectual crisis that overturned Germany’s traditions—a sense of profound spiritual confusion over where modern society was headed—was the same crisis that allowed Hitler to come to power. It also describes how German philosophers actively struggled to create a new kind of philosophy in an effort to understand social incoherence and technology’s diminishing of the individual.
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.

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.
