Katz Editores / Katz Barpal S.L. De Hegel a Nietzsche From Hegel to Nietzche
Escrita durante el exilio en Japón y publicada en 1939, De Hegel a Nietzsche ha sido considerada un clásico y juzgada, con razón, como la obra más importante sobre la filosofía y la historia intelectual del siglo XIX. De Hegel a Nietzsche tiene la peculiaridad de ser un estudio histórico pensado como una respuesta a la identificación de mundo e historia; un intento de contrarrestar los efectos de la conciencia histórica utilizando sus propias armas. Löwith asume ese proyecto paradójico desde la certeza de que, una vez eliminado el presupuesto de la divinidad del cosmos, ya no es posible un retorno a la actitud contemplativa.

The University of Chicago Press Meaning in History: The Theological Implications of the Philosophy of History
Modern man sees with one eye of faith and one eye of reason. Consequently, his view of history is confused. For centuries, the history of the Western world has been viewed from the Christian or classical standpoint—from a deep faith in the Kingdom of God or a belief in recurrent and eternal life-cycles. The modern mind, however, is neither Christian nor pagan—and its interpretations of history are Christian in derivation and anti-Christian in result. To develop this theory, Karl Löwith—beginning with the more accessible philosophies of history in the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries and working back to the Bible—analyzes the writings of outstanding historians both in antiquity and in Christian times. "A book of distinction and great importance. . . . The author is a master of philosophical interpretation, and each of his terse and substantial chapters has the balance of a work of art."—Helmut Kuhn, Journal of Philosophy

University of California Press Nietzsche's Philosophy of the Eternal Recurrence of the Same
This long overdue English translation of Karl Lowith's magisterial study is a major event in Nietzsche scholarship in the Anglo-American intellectual world. Its initial publication was extraordinary in itself - a dissident interpretation, written by a Jew, appearing in National Socialist Germany in 1935. Since then, Lowith's book has continued to gain recognition as one of the key texts in the German Nietzsche reception, as well as a remarkable effort to reclaim the philosopher's work from political misappropriation. For Lowith, the centerpiece of Nietzsche's thought is the doctrine of eternal recurrence, a notion which Lowith, unlike Heidegger, deems incompatible with the will to power. His careful examination of Nietzsche's cosmological theory of the infinite repetition of a finite number of states of the world suggests the paradoxical consequences this theory implies for human freedom. How is it possible to will the eternal recurrence of each moment of one's life, if both this decision and the states of affairs governed by it appear to be predestined? Lowith's book, one of the most important, if seldom acknowledged, sources for recent Anglophone Nietzsche studies, remains a central text for all concerned with understanding the philosopher's work.
