Rezensionen

"One strength of this admirable introduction to modern Germanphilosophy for English-speaking readers is the masterly manner inwhich Andrew Bowie manages to fairly structure an abundance ofilluminating ideas." Jürgen Habermas

"Bowie provides an excellent overview which will be useful forgeneral readers, students and specialists." The Philosophers'Magazine

"Where Bowie really shines ... is in introducing "minor" figuressuch as Herder and Hamann and showing how they prefigure the ideasof Schelling, Heidegger, Wittgenstein and contemporary analyticthinkers such as John McDowell and Robert Brandom. His chapter onthe Early Romantics is equally clear and far-reaching." TimesHigher Education Supplement

"This is probably the most knowledgeable presentation in Englishof the history of the German contribution to so-called continentalphilosophy from Herder and Kant to Gadamer and Habermas. AndrewBowie is an exceptional scholar of German Romanticism and Idealismas well as of the hermeneutic tradition and critical theory of thetwentieth century." Manfred Frank,Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen

"This book has remarkable breadth. Not only does it cover alarger period of German thought than other similar books, but italso has a genuine appreciation for so-called"second-rank" figures (e.g., Herder, Schlegel,Schelling) and for a range of issues concerning aesthetics andsociety that go far beyond the narrow focus on epistemology andmetaphysics that one typically finds in philosophical overviews."Karl Ameriks, University of Notre Dame
