| - 'One of Gorner's strenghs is that he brings the usual clarity of analytic philosophy to the often fuzziness of German philosophy.'/Christopher Adair-Toteff, British JOurnal for the History of Philosophy, Vol 10, No.4, November 2002' -
|
| Description | | - Comprehensive introduction provides foundational knowledge of German tradition
- Concisely written, each chapter makes accessible the works of 20th century German philosophers and their philosophies
- Relates ideas of German thinkers being examined to other philosophers, including analytic philosophers
- Considers intimate, internal relations between the German Philosophers
- Ideal for both students and the general reader interested in German philosophy
| |
This book offers an historical and critical account of some of the main philosophical movements and of the major German philosophers of the twentieth century. In an accessible way, Gorner takes the reader through the principal representatives: Husserl's phenomenology; Gadamer's hermeneutics; Habermas's critical theory; and Apel's pragmatics, and gives extensive treatment of Heidegger's
fundamental ontology and history of being. Twentieth Century German Philosophy
provides both the undergraduate and general reader with a discussion of these philosophers and philosophies against the background of what is most distinctive in the German philosophical tradition.
|
Readership: This is an introductory text suitable for all levels of undergraduate students of 20th century German philosophy ; may be a supplementary text for undergraduate politics, literature, and social science courses; also the general reader with an interest in German philosophy.
