Bibliography
Frederick C. Beiser studied for his BA and DPhil at Oxford. He has taught at seven universities during his career--Penn, Wisconsin, Colorado, Indiana, Yale, Harvard and Syracuse--and has researched for many years in Germany, where he was a recipient of Thyssen and Humboldt fellowships.
This is an excellent and fascinating book. Beiser brings to bear a
deep knowledge of both primary and secondary sources, a sharp eye
for important philosophical issues, and an engaging writing
style.
