Synopsis

Philosophy contends with the ultimate questions the human mind can ask. In Recent Philosophy, Étienne Gilson, Thomas Langan, and Armand Maurer, C.S.B., present the approaches and answers to those questions by the foremost philosophers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Like its published companions in the History of Philosophy series (Medieval Philosophy and Modern Philosophy), Recent Philosophy avoids the trap of becoming an encyclopedia of names and dates, producing instead an emphatically doctrinal chronicle of post-modern philosophical activity.

Volume One comprises (1) Langan’s study of German philosophy, covering the post-Kantian background of Hegel and Fichte; the rise of existentialism with Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and its development under Marcel, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty; and the origin of phenomenology with Husserl and Scheler; and (2) Gilson’s study of French and Italian philosophy, which covers the post-revolutionary thought of Cabanis and Soave and de Bonald and de Maistre; the geneses of Christian philosophy and neo-Scholasticism and of ontologism and positivism; and the intellectual posterity of the critical, Augustinian, and theosophical movements.
