German Idealism And Prussian Militarism (1916)

By Charles William Super

Book Overview

""German Idealism and Prussian Militarism"" is a book written by Charles William Super in 1916. The book explores the relationship between German idealism and Prussian militarism during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Super argues that the philosophical ideas of German idealism, particularly those of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, provided the intellectual foundation for the rise of Prussian militarism and the aggressive foreign policy pursued by Germany in the years leading up to World War I. He contends that the belief in the superiority of the German people and the need for expansion was rooted in the idealist philosophy of the time. Super also examines the impact of militarism on German society, including the role of the military in education and the glorification of war. The book provides a detailed analysis of the historical and philosophical context of German idealism and Prussian militarism, and sheds light on the factors that contributed to Germany's aggressive foreign policy in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
