Books by Andrew Bowie

Offering an account of the German philosophical tradition of thinking about art and the self, this text looks at recent historical research and contemporary arguments in philosophy and theory in the humanities following the path of German philosophy from Kant through Hegel to Nietzsche.

Bowie's book is the first introduction in English to present Schelling as a major European philosopher in his own right. It surveys the whole of his philosophical career, reconstructing his key arguments and relating them to current ideas.

This study offers a new view of literary theory as an essential part of modern philosophy and contests the view that it is a product of deconstruction.
