Walter Kaufmann: Philosopher, Humanist, Heretic by Stanley Corngold

Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper is a review of the book: Stanley Corngold, Walter Kaufmann: Philosopher, Humanist, Heretic (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2018). The author concludes that Corngold’s book acquaints the reader not only with the thought of Walter Kaufmann, but also with the thought of a prominent, late twentieth century generation that in effect rejected the source of the very culture that nourished it.
