Ironically, then, Beiser's lesson about the history of 19th century postHegelian Philosophy in Germany is a Hegelian one. The traditional narrative is onesided, and one ought to be thankful for the clear and engaging way Beiser reveals this.\"--Paul Giladi, Marx and Philosophy \"Beiser is arguably the most prolific and informative historian working on nineteenth-century German philosophy in the English language today... [His] work is to be commended for its clarity of writing, historical accuracy and scholarly research.\"--Borna Radnik, Radical Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface ix  Introduction 1  1.
