  • Martin Heidegger and the Truth About the Black Notebooks

    by Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann, Francesco Alfieri ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Toward the beginning of 2013, I received reports of passages in the Black Notebooks that offered observations on Jewry, or as the case may be, world Jewry. It immediately became clear to me that the publication of the Black Notebooks would call forth a wide-spread international debate. Already in the Spring of 2013, I had asked Professor Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann, last private assistant – and ... Read more

    His Craft and Thought

    Edited by Roman Struc, John Yardley ...
    The eight papers in this volume were originally presented at the centennial conference on Franz Kafka held at the University of Calgary in October 1983.

In this book Iain Hamilton Grant, ... Read more

  • The Representation of War in German Literature

    From 1800 to the Present

    by Elisabeth Krimmer ...
    The history of literature about war is marked by a fundamental paradox: although war forms the subject of countless novels, dramas, poems, and films, it is often conceived as indescribable. Even as many writers strive towards an ideal of authenticity, they maintain that no representation can do justice to the terror and violence of war. Readings of Schiller, Kleist, Jünger, Remarque, Grass, Böll, ... Read more

The present study aims to reassess this question, particularly in the light of Kant's rising importance for the humanities today. It argues not only that Kleist was influenced by Kant, but also that he may be understood as a Kantian, albeit an unorthodox one.The volume ... Read more
