{"product_id":"philosophy-and-revolution-stathis-kouvelakis-9781859844717","title":"Philosophy and Revolution: From Kant to Marx","description":"Throughout the nineteenth century, German philosophy was haunted by the specter of the French Revolution. Kant, Hegel and their followers spent their lives wrestling with its heritage, trying to imagine a specifically German path to modernity: a \"revolution without revolution.\" Trapped in a politically ossified society, German intellectuals were driven to brood over the nature of the revolutionary experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this ambitious and original study, Stathis Kouvelakis paints a rich panorama of the key intellectual and political figures in the effervescence of German thought before the 1848 revolutions. He shows how the attempt to chart a moderate, reformist path entered into crisis, generating two antagonistic perspectives within the progressive currents of German society. On the one side were those socialists--among them Moses Hess and the young Friedrich Engels--who sought to discover a principle of harmony in social relations, bypassing the question of revolutionary politics. On the other side, the poet Heinrich Heine and the young Karl Marx developed a new perspective, articulating revolutionary rupture, proletarian hegemony and struggle for democracy, thereby redefining the very notion of politics itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stathis Kouvelakis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859844715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859844717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 6.10w x 1.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2003","brand":"Stathis Kouvelakis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939034267903,"sku":"9781859844717","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_695849af-f8f2-4344-9f57-6c4dd60e3cc5.jpg?v=1681439109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophy-and-revolution-stathis-kouvelakis-9781859844717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
