From Hegel to Nietzsche : the revolution in nineteenth century thought

This acknowledged classic is one of the most important works on nineteenth-century philosophy and intellectual history, and a philosophical and cultural history of that century and its impact upon the twentieth. Beginning with an examination of the relationship between Hegel and Goethe, Löwith discusses how Hegel's students, particularly Marx and Kierkegaard, interpreted­­or reinterpreted­­their master's thought, and proceeds with an in-depth assessment of the other important philosophers, from Feuerbach, Stirner, and Schelling to Nietzsche. **From Hegel to Nietzsche: The Revolution in 19th Century Thought** (German: *Von Hegel zu Nietzsche: Der revolutionäre Bruch im Denken des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts*) is a 1941 book about German philosophy by Karl Löwith.
