From Kant and Royce to Heidegger: Essays in Modern Philosophy (Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy)

From Kant and Royce to Heidegger: Essays in Modern Philosophy (Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy) by Sherover, Charles M.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780813232140.

In this study, Charles M. Sherover argues that there is a single, substantial line of development that can be traced from the work of Leibniz through Kant and Royce to Heidegger. Sherover traces a movement from deep within the roots of German idealism through Royces insights into American pragmatism to the ethical ramifications of Heideggers existential phenomenology, and then provides an analysis of the neglected ethical and political implications of Heideggers Being and Time. The essays lead finally to Sherovers own view of the self as a member of a moral and political community. Charles M. Sherover is Professor Emeritus of philosophy, Hunter College, City University of New York. He is the author of numerous books and articles, including Heidegger, Kant and Time and Time, Freedom and the Common Good. Gregory R. Johnson is Visiting Assistant Professor at the Pacific School of Religion. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: "Sherover combines solid and original scholarship with well-argued conclusions of his own, seeking to lead us in the direction of a higher and fuller mode of authentic being in the world. This collection of essays is an excellent addition to the series, Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy, edited by Jude P. Dougherty." ― Eugene Thomas Long, Review of Metaphysics
