Buy new: $21.86 / Used from: $5.77
This is an excellent book, thogugh some of it is dated, and some of the names won't mean much to 21st century readers. Still very much reccomended.

Religion from Tolstoy to CamusReligion from Tolstoy to Camus
Buy new: $29.95 / Used from: $15.00

Without Guilt and JusticeWithout Guilt and Justice by Walter Arnold Kaufmann

Kaufmann's development of an ethical system based on autonomy rather than guilt or justice. Also goes into alienation. A natural progression of his philosophy
Hegel: A ReinterpretationHegel: A Reinterpretation by Walter Kaufmann
Buy used from: $7.98
Kaufmann on Hegel - a new look at the philosopher. A sympathetic account, which is kind of surprising. K. picks up aspects of Hegel's life and thought which tend to be overlooked.
Hegel Texts And Commentary: TheologyHegel Texts And Commentary: Theology by Walter Kaufmann

A translation of the preface to the Phenomenology, with commentary on facing pages. The translation is not exact, and has been "cleaned up" a little. Contains Hegel's humorous "Who thinks abstractly"
Hegel Reinterpretation Texts and CommentaryHegel Reinterpretation Texts and Commentary by Walter Arnold Kaufmann
Buy used from: $204.36
Both of the above in one hardback book. I have this, though a diferent edition (Doubleday 1965), with cool dust jacket art

Religions in Four Dimensions: Existential and Aesthetic, Historical and ComparativeReligions in Four Dimensions: Existential and Aesthetic, Historical and Comparative by Walter Arnold. Kaufmann
Buy used from: $54.65
A huge book, full of photographs and lots of text. Brilliant and insightful - Kaufmann doesn't shy away from the negatives as so many other religion books do. Highly recommended

I haven't read any of them yet enough to comment. Includes many on religion, and a few in German.
Life at the Limits (Man's Lot)Life at the Limits (Man's Lot) by Walter Kaufmann

A "philosophical picture book" - blending philosophy and photography. A brilliant statment of principles, and attack on traditional philosophy. Contains a scathing assault on German existentialism.

A denunciation of "restoration" and praise of the works that time creates in nature and art.
Man's Lot: What is Man?Man's Lot: What is Man? by Walter Kaufmann
Buy used from: $3.59
The last in the Man's Lot trilogy - I haven't read it. Incidentally, (I believe) this was the last set of books he wrote - Discovering the Mind was written earlier, but published posthumously.

Buy new: $24.95 / Used from: $6.62
Good book, goes into a lot on Goethe (a hero to Kaufmann). Kant lovers will hate it. Reccomended

Buy new: $24.95 / Used from: $8.97
Haven't read it, but I can guess what it says. Kaufmann didn't think too highly of Heidegger (*cough*).

Buy new: $24.95 / Used from: $15.76
I also haven't read this one yet. In case you didn't know, the first name is the hero, the second is ok, and the third one really screwed things up for us.
