The Tragedy of Optimism

The Tragedy of OptimismComplete collection of Schwarzschild's essays on the neo Kantian Jewish philosopher Hermann Cohen. Steven S. Schwarzschild (19241989) was arguably the leading expositor of German Jewish philosopher Hermann Cohen (18421918), undertaking a lifelong effort to reintroduce Cohen's thought into contemporary philosophical discourse. In The Tragedy of Optimism, George Y. Kohler brings together all of Schwarzschild's work on Cohen for the first time.
