Abstract

As the author sees it, Goethe advanced the discovery of the mind more than anyone before him, while Kant was in many ways a disaster. Hegel, like many others from 1790 to the present, tried to reconcile Kant and Goethe. Kaufmann shows how this was impossible … Volume II in the trilogy will discuss Nietzsche, Heidegger and Buber, and volume III will be called Freud versus Adler and Jung.
