Reviews

'These profound reflections on philosophy and the First World War reveal important dimensions of the genealogy of what still drives contemporary philosophy-the continuing resilience of religion in an increasingly secular world, the modern experience of alienation which seems to know no limits, the problems of violence, the question of history, the meaning of the political. This is, in short, a remarkable book.' James Dodd, The New School for Social Research, New York 'World War I, de Warren shows, was a philosophical earthquake.  Not only did it transform the philosophers who lived through it, but the war itself acquired a philosophical voice – or, better, voices – that would, for good or ill, echo across twentieth-century thought.  Rich in both philosophical and historical insight, German Philosophy and the First World War will remain a touchstone for years to come.' Michael Gubser, James Madison University 'This insightful book is for philosophers interested in the history of modern German thought and historians of WW I. Highly recommended.' A. Jaeger, CHOICE '… at the end of reading this fascinating volume, we will express our gratitude to the author, for having been able to present with finesse and accuracy of analysis a difficult question: that of the links which unite philosophical thought to the time and place of its production.' Olivier Rota, Mélanges de science religieuse
