Reviews

Stewart's fresh approach to the so-called 'antagonism' between idealism and existentialism is both welcome and edifying. His careful, nuanced scholarship encourages the reader to re-consider and re-evaluate the major debates that shaped the development of European philosophy in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. - Daniel Conway, Texas A&M University, USA

""Stewart's fresh approach to the so-called ‘antagonism' between idealism and existentialism is both welcome and edifying. His careful, nuanced scholarship encourages the reader to re-consider and re-evaluate the major debates that shaped the development of European philosophy in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."" - Daniel Conway, Texas A&M University, USA According to the conventional story told by intellectual historians, the nineteenth century witnessed a major break in the philosophical tradition, jumping from German Idealism (identified with Hegel) to existentialism (identified with Kierkegaard). Jon Stewart disagrees: and in Idealism and Existentialism he challenges this account and puts forward an alternative view of Hegel. (While most of the chapters consist of articles or lectures already published in one form or another, by collecting them in book form Stewart makes them more accessible to readers and, taken in their totality, an overarching argument emerges.) -- Paul Bishop * Journal of European Studies vol 42 issue 1 *
