Revealing Voices: Kristin Gjesdal on Germaine de Staël

Posted Posted in Revealing Voices

This post is part of our Revealing Voices blog series.    It was, no doubt, the great questions of the post-Kantian tradition that got me hooked on philosophy: How could one read texts such as Kant’s First Critique, Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals, or Marx’s Capital and not want more?

Deepshikha Sharma’s post is part of our Revealing Voices blog series. The Orient or The Occident, the malestreamness of Philosophy pervades all academic institutions.
