The Longing for Total Revolution: Philosophic Sources Of Social Discontent From Rousseau To Marx And Nietzsche

This book seeks to identify and account for the development of a form of discontent held in common by a large number of European philosophers and social critics, including Rousseau, Schiller, the young Hegel, Marx and Nietzsche. Yack contends that these individuals, despite their profound disagreements, shared new perspectives on human freedom and history and that these perspectives gave their discontent its peculiar breadth and intensity.
