Since its condemnation, above all by German idealism, popular philosophy, which had been one of the most influential movements of the 18th century, had a negative connotation. The discussion about a philosophy which tried to get closer to people's lives did however see itself as a part of the widespread debate on self-understanding of Enlightenment as a whole. It was mainly the study of Kant's critical philosophy which forced people to rethink the demands, limitations and possibilties of popular philosophy. Thus popularity became the agenda and the problem of philosophy, then as now. This volume traces the history of popular philosophy: its previous history, the discussion in the 18th century and its reverberations in the 19th and early 20th centuries up to the present time.
Rezensionen

Perlentaucher-Notiz zur NZZ-Rezension

Einen guten Ruf hatte die gegen schulphilosophische Verkrustungen, aber auch allzu dunkles Denken sich wendende deutsche Popularphilosophie des späteren 18. Jahrhunderts noch nie. Ihre ein breiteres aufgeklärtes Publikums suchenden Darstellungen sind heute bestenfalls noch von historischem Interesse, die meisten Autoren - so etwa Christian Cay Hirschfeld und Justus Hennigs - sind vergessen. Christoph Böhr aber möchte ihnen in seiner Untersuchung mehr Gerechtigkeit widerfahren lassen und bemüht sich um die "Rehabilitation" der Popularisierer. Der Rezensent (Kürzel lx.) bietet über die referierende Darstellung hinaus keine Einschätzung dieses Bemühens.

Christoph Böhr beleuchtet in seiner Philosophiegeschichte ein munteres Kind der Aufklärung: die Popularphilosophie. [...] Christoph Böhrs Darstellung entspricht ihrem Gegenstand kongenial; sie ist selbst populär, aufklärerisch und gründlich im besten Sinne. Alexander Kosenina, Die Welt
