More about the book

Focusing on the intellectual contributions of four pivotal philosophers, this study explores the foundations of contemporary academic philosophy. It examines Wittgenstein's role in Logical Positivism and Analytic philosophy, Heidegger's influence on Hermeneutic philosophy within the Continental tradition, Lukacs' establishment of Hegelian Marxism during the Soviet era, and Gentile's contributions as a Hegelian Idealist. The work delves into their political implications and the lasting impact on modern philosophical discourse in universities worldwide.
