Rethinking Philosophy in Light of the Bible - From Kant to Schopenhauer

Informationen zum Autor Brayton Polka is Professor of Humanities Emeritus and Senior Scholar at York University (in Toronto, Canada) and the author of numerous studies in philosophy, religion, literature, and music. Klappentext This book analyzes the ideas central to the philosophy of Kant, Hegel, and Kierkegaard to show that they are biblical in origin, both ontologically and historically. Polka argues that Schopenhauer has an altogether false conception of the fundamental ideas of the Bible and of Christianity, which leaves his philosophy irredeemably contradictory.
