Publisher's Synopsis
""Egotism in German Philosophy"" is a book written by George Santayana that explores the concept of egotism in the philosophy of German thinkers such as Kant, Fichte, and Hegel. Santayana argues that these philosophers were preoccupied with the idea of the self and its relation to the world, and that this preoccupation led them to develop complex and sometimes contradictory theories of subjectivity, consciousness, and freedom. The book examines the historical and cultural context in which these ideas arose, as well as their influence on later philosophical movements such as existentialism and phenomenology. Santayana's analysis is both rigorous and accessible, making this book a valuable resource for students and scholars of philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
