The Best of Scholars and Scholarship in the Humanities

Elliot Neaman studied history and philosophy in Vancouver, Canada, Zurich, and Berlin before completing a doctorate in Modern European Intellectual History under the supervision of internationally known historian Martin Jay at Berkeley in 1993. The works contained in this volume of his selected writings are drawn from publications from 1988 to the present. They provide the reader with access to his multi-decade writings on Ernst Junger, the German Student Movement of the 1960s, as well as other works on modern European thinkers such as Martin Heidegger and Carl Schmitt. This collection also features previously unpublished writings, including a concise volume of aphorisms and reflections reminiscent of Rochefoucauld and Schopenhauer. Additionally, it includes a foreword by Neaman's former student Martin Woessner as well as an insightful interview he conducted with the author.
