Fritz Medicus, On Being Human . The Life Of Truth And Its Realization: Book Review, Leo Schelbert

In a language simulataneously straightforward and compledx, questions of logic, ethics, and ultimate values are discussed, all within a tight network of post-Kantian, partly scholastic (that is Judeo-Christianized Aristotelian), Partly idealist (especially Fichtean) concepts.
