The essays are divided into three sections, on methodology, reason and consciousness following Kant, and the philosophy of what it means to be human. Each essay delves into specific questions through tracing the topic's history, commenting on opposing viewpoints among philosophers, and offering a state of the question for the overall concept. A sampling of chapter topics includes historicism; nihilism; the legacy of hellenic harmony in the works of Goethe, Winckelmann, Herder, Kant, and Schiller; aesthetics in philosophy in the works of Kant, Adorno, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty; and the theme of overcoming epistemology, with attention to the work of Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, and Husserl.
