Einführung in das philosophische Denken

2,500 years of philosophical work, from antiquity to modernity, from Parmenides to Heidegger. Whoever wants to engage with this tradition requires an understanding of its historical development. This introduction to philosophical thinking addresses readers who are willing to follow along the path of Western philosophy. Prejudices, such as the denigration of medieval philosophy or the unanimous accolades for the Enlightenment, are not found here. In addition to the history, this book provides a systematic overview of each philosophical discipline: e.g. ethics, the theory of science, and religion. The author presents new perspectives on old questions: what is nature? What is technology? Is metaphysics still possible?
