Contents:
The Kantian revolution in metaphysics -- Hegel and the myth of the fall -- Kierkegaard on coming into historical existence as the critique of Christendom -- What is philosophy? Feuerbach and Schopenhauer on the essence of Christianity.
Summary: This book analyzes the ideas central to the philosophy of Kant, Hegel, and Kierkegaard to show that they are biblical in origin, both ontologically and historically. Polka argues that Schopenhauer has an altogether false conception of the fundamental ideas of the Bible and of Christianity, which leaves his philosophy irredeemably contradictory.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-165) and index.
