Egotism in German Philosophy
First written during the darkest days of World War I and then republished with just a new preface at the beginning of World War II, this is an analysis of the basic philosophy underlying the thinking of the German people. Santayana passes from the hints of egoism in Goethe to the "seeds of egotism" in Kant, and from these to the philosophies of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. This study is basic to any collection in the area of philosophy or history.
