The Philosopher's Voice: Philosophy, Politics, and Language in the Nineteenth Century

More about the book

The book explores the intricate relationship between philosophy and politics, emphasizing the challenge political philosophers face in distinguishing their voices from the cacophony of political discourse. Andrew Fiala argues that philosophy's methodological self-awareness sets it apart from other forms of political expression. By examining the contributions of Kant, Fichte, Hegel, and Marx, the author situates their work within the broader political landscape of the nineteenth century, highlighting the significant impact these thinkers had on political thought and history.
