Reviews

[T]he merits of this well-researched volume lie in its dense argument and close attention to and analysis of its complex source materials, and Germana is sensitive to how philosophical and aesthetic interests interact. Equally laudable is the author's careful balance between philosophical and historical approaches to the period.
*MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW*

A new history of Kantian and post-Kantian German philosophy. This is an important book...Nicholas Germana [breaks] new ground by illuminating the buried history of orientalism in German philosophy between Kant and Hegel.
