Reviews

Being Guilty is provocative and original, both as intellectual history and as philosophical argument. Elgat has very interesting things to say on a variety of subjects pertaining to guilt, especially in Nietzsche and Heidegger. The book is certain to stimulate vigorous discussion and debate. * Taylor Carman, Professor of Philosophy, Barnard College * This is a wide-ranging and highly informative study of guilt, the feeling of guilt, and conscience, including their relations to freedom and responsibility, through the lens of the German philosophical tradition. The study examines three major approaches-metaphysical (Kant, Schelling, Schopenhauer), naturalistic (Ree, Nietzsche), and phenomenological (Heidegger). Elgat's interpretations are always careful and scholarly, his arguments perceptive and lucid. The readings of Nietzsche and Heidegger in particular are of illuminating originality. Elgat's own critical appraisal of the philosophers studied, as well as his independent reflections, show well-informed and balanced judgement throughout. This book deserves to become a key text on this topic. * Peter Poellner, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick *
