Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Habermas, as well as some of the more neglected thinkers, such as Friedrich Schlegel, Novalis, Schleiermacher, and Schelling --
Andrew Bowie sees German philosophy as offering ways of understanding the contemporary world, because it is both a problematic symptom of German history and a vital resource for trying to come to terms with modernity. He also explores how German philosophical ideas can be valuable for addressing modern events and dilemmas, including the Holocaust. --
