Review: Waller Newell’s “Tyranny and Revolution: Rousseau to Heidegger”

Review: Waller Newell’s “Tyranny and Revolution: Rousseau to Heidegger”
(Execution of Marie Antoinette, 16 October 1793. Executioner Charles-Henri Sanson shows her severed head to the crowd.)

“Beginning with Jean-Jacques Rousseau, proceeding through the luminaries of German Idealism and Romanticism—climaxing with Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel—then marching beyond Hegel to Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Martin Heidegger, Newell gives a reading of philosophy gone wrong. Horribly wrong

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
