Histories of German philosophy in the nineteenth century typically focus on its first half--when Hegel, idealism, and Romanticism dominated. By contrast, the remainder of the century, after Hegel's death, has been relatively neglected because it has been seen as a period of stagnation and decline. But Frederick Beiser argues that the second half of "Beiser is arguably the most prolific and informative historian working on nineteenth-century German philosophy in the English language today. . . . [His] work is to be commended for its clarity of writing, historical accuracy and scholarly research."---Borna Radnik, Radical Philosophy
