26After Hegel: German Philosophy, 1840-1900Princeton University Press. 2014.Histories of German philosophy in the nineteenth century typically focus on its first half--when Hegel, idealism, and Romanticism dominated. By contrast, the remainder of the century, after Hegel's death, has been relatively neglected because it has been seen as a period of stagnation and decline. But Frederick Beiser argues that the second half of the century was in fact one of the most revolutionary periods in modern philosophy because the nature of philosophy itself was up for grabs and the v…Read more

14The Romantic ImperativeHarvard University Press. 2003.The Early Romantics met resistance from artists and academics alike in part because they defied the conventional wisdom that philosophy and the arts must be kept separate. Indeed, as the literary component of Romanticism has been studied and celebrated in recent years, its philosophical aspect has receded from view. This book, by one of the most respected scholars of the Romantic era, offers an explanation of Romanticism that not only restores but enhances understanding of the movement's origins…Read more

14Johann Friedrich Herbart: Grandfather of Analytic PhilosophyOxford University Press. 2022."This book is an intellectual biography of Johann Friedrich, who was one of the most famous philosophers in early 19th century Germany.

13The Fate of ReasonHarvard University Press. 1987.The Fate of Reason is the first general history devoted to the period between Kant and Fichte, one of the most revolutionary and fertile in modern philosophy. The philosophers of this time broke with the two central tenets of the modem Cartesian tradition: the authority of reason and the primacy of epistemology. They also witnessed the decline of the Aufkldrung, the completion of Kant's philosophy, and the beginnings of post-Kantian idealism. Thanks to Beiser we can newly appreciate the influenc…Read more

Cohen'…Read more

10A Mayfly for Prof. Hegel: Herbart’s Forgotten Review of Hegel’s RechtsphilosophieCritical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society 33 (3-4): 277-288. 2021.ABSTRACT Herbart and Hegel were contemporaries and both became famous, in their time and thereafter. It would be interesting therefore to know what they thought of one another. We could easily answer this question if they reviewed one another. Hegel never reviewed Herbart; but Herbart did review Hegel. Though in his later years Herbart protested that he did not want to engage with Hegel, he had already written, in 1822, one of his longest and most important reviews, which was of Hegel’s Philosop…Read more
