Books by Karl Lowith

This is a key text in modern interpretations of alienation in Marxist theory and rationalization in Weber's sociology. It aims to provide the student with an introduction to the differences and comparisons between these two essential thinkers.

Written by a former student of Heidegger, this book examines the relationship between the philosophy and the politics of a celebrated teacher and the allure that Nazism held out for scholars committed to revolutionary nihilism.
