Walter Kaufmann Author, Editor & Translator

W. G. Hegel (1770–1831) was a German philosopher of the late Enlightenment. While primarily influential within the Continental tradition of philosophy, his work has become increasingly influential in the analytic tradition as well. Although he remains a divisive figure, his canonical stature within Western philosophy is universally recognized.

Walter Kaufmann (1921–1980) was a German-American philosopher, translator, and poet. He served for over thirty years as a professor at Princeton University.
