Rezensionen

"Preceded by volumes covering Weber to Habermas and Lukács to Strauss,(published in 2018 and 2020) this third and final volume of Young's German Philosophy in the Twentieth Century examines eight philosophers and theologians who once were, but no longer are, central to the pressing philosophical debates of the 20th century. ... In company with the previous two volumes in the set, this insightful, well-written volume is an exciting guide through 20th-century German philosophy. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers." - J. A. Fischel, CHOICE

"Young's mastery of modern German philosophy is unsurpassed. In this lucid, compelling, and wide-ranging study, he continues his long-standing effort to map and assess this complex terrain, throwing new and much needed light especially on the relation between philosophy and politics. While revealing unexpected and exciting approaches to its subject matter, it offers timely and intellectually stimulating perspectives on our contemporary challenges." - Espen Hammer, Temple University, USA
