Volume 7
German Philosophy
This volume of Copleston's A History of Philosophy looks at the idealist philosophies, and the reactions against them, that developed mainly in Germany in the nineteenth century. Copleston guides the reader through the work of the Post-Kantian idealists such as Schelling and Hegel, moving on to their various opponents such as Schopenhauer, Marx and Kierkegaard. He also discusses the Neo-Kantians and the influential work of Nietzsche.
