Karl Löwith (January 9, 1897 – May 26, 1973), was a German philosopher, a student of Heidegger.
Löwith was born in Munich. Though he was himself Protestant, his family was of Jewish descent and he therefore had to emigrate Germany in 1934 because of the National Socialist regime. He went to Italy and in 1936 he went to Japan. But because of the alliance between the Third Reich and Japan he had to leave Japan in 1941 and went to the USA.[1] From 1941 to 1952, he taught at the Hartford Theological Seminary and the New School for Social Research. In 1952 he returned to Germany to teach as Professor of Philosophy at Heidelberg, where he died.
He is probably most known for his two books From Hegel to Nietzsche, which describes the decline of German classical philosophy, and Meaning in History, which discusses the problematic relationship between theology and history. Löwith's argument in Meaning in History is that the western view of history is confused by the relationship between Christian faith and the modern view, which is neither Christian nor pagan.[1] Löwith describes this relationship through famous western philosophers and historians, including Burckhardt, Marx, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Voltaire, Vico, Bossuet, Augustine and Orosius.[2] The modern historical consciousness is, according to Löwith, derived from Christianity. But, Christians are not a historical people, as their view of the world is based on faith. This explains the tendency in history (and philosophy) to an eschatological view of human progress.
Karl Lowith was the son of a Munich artist and studied philosophy and biology in Munich, Freiburg and Marburg. He began his teaching career in 1928 as Privatdozent in Marburg, working under Heidegger, but was forced to leave in 1934. After two years in Rome he held a chair at Tohku University, Sendai, Japan from 1936-1941. In 1941 he moved to the Theological Seminary at Hartford, Connecticut and, in 1949, to the New School for Social Research, New York. In 1952 he returned to Germany as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg where he remained until his retirement. He died in 1973. His best known work, From Hegel to Nietzsche , was published in Zurich in 1941 and in English translation in 1964. In Max Weber and Karl Marx Lowith, whose philosophical approach was a product of Heidegger's existentialism, showed how there was a convergence towards a common 'life philosophy'. Lowith's analysis of the philosophical anthropology of these two major social scientists shows that much of the ideological dispute between Marxism and Sociology has been the result of mutual misunderstanding.

非常好,今天知道有中文版今年出版,非常激动。
评分为了做Marx和Weber的comparitive analysis读的,rationalization和self-alienation对比很恰当,分析清晰,感觉醍醐灌顶
评分粗略地读过一遍,以后有时间了想把这本书翻译一下,自己好像已经翻译过一章了。加油!
评分两次间隔5年。算是重新恢复阅读的第一本书吧。借此复习过去的知识。
评分第一章,洛维特认为,马克思和韦伯都是在相似的学术场域进行争斗的——马克思反对唯心论和韦伯反对历史主义经济学,都在极力反对背后具有神秘悬设的理论。两者同样要求头脑清明,将资本主义社会现实结构揭示出来,不过,韦伯相较于马克思主义对科学理论的相信,却多了一层反思——科学绝非悬空于普遍视角下,所以应保持open-mindedness,并努力弄清自身的理论关涉、背景或预设。第二章,洛维特以康德哲学框架阐释两者的努力背景——如何在一个异化了的或合理化了的世界里追求个体的自主autonomy。颇有新意的是对韦伯的解读——合理化并不纯然是否定的,它至少将传统、宗教或客观伦理剔除干净,敞开了“上帝已死”后的个体的行动空间,以“积极的否定式激情”行责任伦理;个体不需要追求整全,而是在碎片的行动中存在主义式地生存
