Heine: 'On the History of Religion and Philosophy in Germany' Hardback
Edited by Terry (Georgetown University, Washington DC) Pinkard
Part of the Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy series
Hardback
Description
This volume presents a colourful and entertaining overview of German intellectual history by a central figure in its development.
Heinrich Heine (1797-1856), famous poet, journalist, and political exile, studied with Hegel and was personally acquainted with the leading figures of the most important generation of German writers and philosophers.
In his groundbreaking History he discusses the history of religion, philosophy, and literature in Germany up to his time, seen through his own highly opinionated, politically aware, philosophically astute, and always ironic perspective.
This work, and other writings focussing especially on Heine's rethinking of Hegel's philosophy, are presented here in a new translation by Howard Pollack-Milgate.
The volume also includes an introduction by Terry Pinkard which examines Heine both in relation to Hegel and Nietzsche and as a thinker in his own right.
