Meaning in history by Karl Löwith( Book )

116 editions published between 1907 and 2017 in 5 languages and held by 1,398 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"For centuries, the history of the western world has been viewed from the Christian or classical standpoint ... 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 Lowith--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."--Jacket

Max Weber and Karl Marx by Karl Löwith( )

30 editions published between 1932 and 2016 in English and German and held by 1,381 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Martin Heidegger and European nihilism by Karl Löwith( Book )

10 editions published in 1995 in English and held by 606 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

Nietzsches Philosophie der ewigen Widerkehr des Gleichen by Karl Löwith( Book )

41 editions published between 1935 and 2014 in 3 languages and held by 514 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 )

1 edition published in 1997 in English and held by 445 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

Von Hegel zu Nietzsche by Karl Löwith( Book )

69 editions published between 1941 and 2014 in 6 languages and held by 303 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Karl Löwith examina las relaciones entre Hegel y Goethe y 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 es 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

Das individuum in der rolle des mitmenschen by Karl Löwith( Book )

37 editions published between 1928 and 2016 in German and held by 272 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Das Individuum in der Rolle des Mitmenschen ist die unter der Leitung von Martin Heidegger verfasste, 1928 veröffentlichte und bis heute im akademischen Kontext kaum rezipierte Habilitationsschrift Karl Löwiths. Ausgehend von Sein und Zeit und der Unterbestimmung der darin abgehandelten Kategorie des Mitseins befasst sich Löwith mit einer originellen Fragestellung, die in seinem weiteren Denkweg nie wieder auf derart stringente Art und Weise aufkommen wird: mit der Frage nach der Ursprünglichkeit und den Geltungsstrukturen der Mitwelt bzw. des Ein-Ander und des Miteinanderseins. Die in erster Linie phänomenologisch geprägte, jedoch auch literarische Analysen (z. B. Pirandellos Theater) einbeziehende Herangehensweise Löwiths macht das Individuum zu einem einzigartigen Schnittstellenwerk, denn dieses siedelt sich fruchtbar im Spannungsfeld von Phänomenologie, Heidegger'scher >>Destruktion<< und dialogischer Philosophie an. Daraus entsteht ein innovativer Beitrag zur Dialogik, der in dem Versuch besteht, dem >>Mitweltich<< eine philosophische Grundlage zu verleihen: Als >>Zusammenleben in Auseinandersetzung<< ist das menschliche Leben von Grund auf dialogisch bestimmt.
