Praise for this book

'Bishop's skill as a historian shines here, for the level of detail he provides is truly exceptional, especially insofar as it concerns Klages's intellectual development' (Configurations)

'Beautiful and accessible ... For anyone who seriously studies nineteenth and twentieth-century continental philosophy today, this introduction to Klages is indispensable' (British Journal for the History of Philosophy)

'With this concise and clearly-written book, [Bishop] ingeniously succeeds in opening a door and offering access to an important, complex, and most influential ? yet almost forgotten ? thinker of the 20th century' (International Journal of Jungian Studies)
