"Bowie provides an excellent overview which will be useful for
general readers, students and specialists." The Philosophers'
Magazine
"Where Bowie really shines ... is in introducing "minor" figures
such as Herder and Hamann and showing how they prefigure the ideas
of Schelling, Heidegger, Wittgenstein and contemporary analytic
thinkers such as John McDowell and Robert Brandom. His chapter on
the Early Romantics is equally clear and far-reaching." Times
Higher Education Supplement
"This is probably the most knowledgeable presentation in English
of the history of the German contribution to so-called continental
philosophy from Herder and Kant to Gadamer and Habermas. Andrew
Bowie is an exceptional scholar of German Romanticism and Idealism
as well as of the hermeneutic tradition and critical theory of the
twentieth century." Manfred Frank,
Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen
"This book has remarkable breadth. Not only does it cover a larger period of German thought than other similar books, but it also has a genuine appreciation for so-called “second-rank” figures (e.g., Herder, Schlegel, Schelling) and for a range of issues concerning aesthetics and society that go far beyond the narrow focus on epistemology and metaphysics that one typically finds in philosophical overviews." Karl Ameriks, University of Notre Dame
