A History of Philosophy Volume 7: 18th and 19th Century German Philosophy

Product Description

A History of Philosophy Volume 7 looks at the idealist philosophies that developed mainly in Germany in the nineteenth century. In addition, the book examines the reactions against these philosophies. Copleston guides the reader through the work of the Post-Kantian idealists such as Schelling and Hegel, moving on to their various opponents such as Schopenhauer, Marx and Kierkegaard. He also discusses the Neo-Kantians and the influential work of Nietzsche.

Frederick Copleston was a Professor of the History of Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty of Theology at London University. This eleven-volume work is one of the most remarkable single-handed scholarly enterprises of modern times. Brimming with detail and enthusiasm, A History of Philosophy gives an accessible account of philosophers from all eras and explains their works in relation to other philosophers.
