The book explores the nature of German philosophy, emphasizing its subjective and egotistical core, as well as its implications in the broader context of culture and morality. Santayana presents a critical analysis of German philosophical thought, particularly focusing on figures like Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, and argues that their ideas often reflect an overemphasis on the individual self at the expense of reality and communal values. The opening of the book lays the groundwork for Santayana's critique, revealing his perspective on German philosophy as fundamentally flawed yet influential. He expresses his skepticism about its validity and laments the pervasive egotism he perceives in its core tenets. Santayana introduces his views on the subjective nature of thought and the tendency of German philosophers to glorify this egotism, suggesting that it has contributed to a distorted understanding of existence, duty, and moral responsibility. By outlining the philosophical landscape, he sets the stage for a deeper examination of individualism versus collective experiences and the philosophical reflections that shape societal values.
