From Hegel to Nietzsche : the revolution in nineteenth-century thought by
Karl Löwith(
Book
)
133 editions published between 1941 and 2014 in 8 languages and held by 2,009 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"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. En ella, Karl Löwith comienza con un examen de las relaciones entre Hegel y Goethe para, a continuación, discutir de qué manera los discípulos de Hegel, y particularmente Marx y Kierkegaard, interpretaron, o reinterpretaron, el pensamiento del maestro. Al señalar a Marx y a Kierkegaard como los precursores del "decisionismo", con el cual la filosofía legitimaba sus incursiones en el mundo histórico, Löwith se propone la tarea de desacreditar al historicismo en tanto responsable del nihilismo filosófico y del decisionismo político. Y al orientar su pensamiento hacia la "despotenciación de la conciencia histórica", rehabilita teóricamente la dimensión reprimida por el pensamiento historicista: la naturaleza. De Hegel a Nietzsche tiene, entonces, 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."--Contratapa

Lowith's study of Max Weber and Karl Marx is a key text in modern interpretations of the theme of alienation in Marxist theory and rationalisation in Weber's sociology.

Martin Heidegger and European nihilism by
Karl Löwith(
Book
)
10 editions published in 1995 in English and held by 602 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In a work of impressive historical depth, Lowith traces the abandonment of higher European ideals in favor of a fatal flirtation with nihilism. These essays explore the enthronement of man above God, a trend that had begun to appear in European thought by the mid-nineteenth century in the works of Nietzsche and Marx and one that informed the nihilist philosophies of Heidegger and other theorists of the early twentieth century. An introduction by editor Richard Wolin provides lucid commentary, placing the three essays gathered here in a broad historical context, along with suggestions for further reading. This seminal work of intellectual history sheds light on the fascist impulses of nihilism in the first half of the twentieth century, but also offers unique perspective on the intellectual malaise of today

Book
)
64 editions published between 1956 and 2014 in 4 languages and held by 572 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In seiner großen Nietzsche-Studie interpretiert Karl Löwith Nietzsches gesamte Philosophie als geschichtsphilosophischen Versuch, die Entstehung, Entwicklung und mögliche Überwindung des Nihilismus im abendländischen Denken zu beschreiben. Als Kern und Angelpunkt von Nietzsches Denken sieht Löwith dabei die Lehre von der ewigen Wiederkehr des Gleichen, mit der Nietzsche sein Ziel der Wiederherstellung eines antiken, dionysischen Lebensgefühls gegenüber christlicher Leidensmetaphorik verfolgt. Löwith zufolge mündet Nietzsches Philosophie jedoch in der Aporie, weil er den seiner Lehre immanenten

Nietzsche's philosophy of the eternal recurrence of the same by
Karl Löwith(
Book
)
10 editions published between 1996 and 1997 in English and held by 451 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Criticizing the tendency to treat Nietzsche as a literary figure or as a vitalist in the tradition of Bergson, Simmel, and Klages, Lowith situates Nietzsche squarely within the history of Western philosophy. He takes issue with the position of Jaspers that Nietzsche is best read as a rejection of all philosophical certainties and challenges Heidegger's view that Nietzsche was the last metaphysician of the West. 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
