Beyond Kant and Nietzsche: The Munich Defence of Christian Humanism - Hardcover

by Tracey Rowland (Author), Francesca Aran Murphy (Editor), Balázs M. Mezei (Editor)

The Christian Humanist ideas of six Catholic scholars who were based in Munich during the first half of the 20th century are profiled in this volume. They were all interested in presenting and defending a Christian humanism in the aftermath of German Idealism and the anti-Christian humanism of Friedrich Nietzsche. They were seeking to offer hope to Christians during the darkest years of the Nazi regime and the post-Second World War era of shame, guilt and reconstruction.
