Love, death, and revolution in Central Europe [Elektronisk resurs] Ludwig Feuerbach, Moses Hess, Louise Dittmar, Richard Wagner / Peter C. Caldwell.

• Feuerbachian Radicalism: The Finitude of the World and Infinite Human Potential * Moses Hess, Love, and "True Socialism" * Louise Dittmar, Myth, and Marriage * Richard Wagner, Love, and Death * Ethics and Finitude in the Late Feuerbach.

• This intellectual history reconstructs the nature of Ludwig Feuerbach's radicalism and shows how it influenced early works of socialism, feminism, and musical modernism. 
• "This is an excellent work. The author explains very well and with considerable clarity Feuerbach's ideas - no small accomplishment, in view of the notoriously cloudy language of Hegelian philosophy. Caldwell's demonstration of the influence of Feuerbach's thought on the figures he considers (an interesting and very diverse group of individuals) is eminently convincing." - Jonathan Sperber, Curator's Professor and Department Chair, Department of History, University of Missouri "A fine, innovative work of intellectual history. Caldwell reconstructs a sometimes overlooked side of the philosophical origins of the history of German radical thought, unearthing some of its forgotten potential for later counter-cultural movements, but also showing how, in the hands of Wagner, one current of post-Feuerbachian thought veered into more dangerous waters of myth and racism." - Dr. Andrew Bonnell, Senior Lecturer, History and Convener of History discipline, School of HPRC, University of Queensland, Australia.
