Book Synopsis
Richard Velkley traces the relation of philosophy to culture from Rousseau to Kant and Heidegger. The work shows late modern philosophy as a series of ultimately unsuccessful attempts to resolve the dichotomies between nature and society that Rousseau brought to the fore.

Trade Review
"I know of no more perceptive and learned commentator on the infrastructure of the development from Rousseau through Kant and German Idealism to Nietzsche and Heidegger than Richard Velkley. This integrated collection of essays is essential reading for everyone who is interested in the ramifications of Rousseau's distinction between culture and civilization as well as in his grounding contribution to the modern conception of the historical nature of reason." - Stanley Rosen, Boston University
