by Karl Löwith (Author), Hans-Georg Gadamer (Foreword by)

Beginning with an examination of the relationship between Hegel and Goethe, L with discusses how Hegel's students, particularly Marx and Kierkegaard, interpreted----or reinterpreted----their master's thought, and proceeds with an in-depth assessment of the other important philosophers, from Feuerbach, Stirner, and Schelling to Nietzsche.
