Weltschmerz

Weltschmerz by Frederick C Beiser

Frederick C. Beiser presents a study of the pessimism that dominated German philosophy from the 1860s to c. 1900: the theory that life is not worth living. He explores its major defenders and chief critics, and examines how the theory redirected German philosophy away from the logic of the sciences and toward an examination of the value of life.

Beisers book is delightful, clear and thoroughIt is written in the best style of historians of philosophy. * Sergio Valverde, Phenomenological Reviews *
