TEHRAN-The Persian translation of the book “On the History of Religion and Philosophy in Germany” by Heinrich Heine has been released in Iran.

Translated by Saman Moradkhani, the book has been published by Lega Press in 273 pages, Mehr reported.

The book presents an entertaining overview of German intellectual history by a central figure in its development. 

Heine (1797–1856), a famous poet, journalist, and political exile, studied with Hegel and was personally acquainted with the leading figures of the most important generation of German writers and philosophers. 

In his groundbreaking work, he discusses the history of religion, philosophy, and literature in Germany up to his time, seen through his own highly opinionated, politically aware, philosophically astute, and always ironic perspective. 

This volume also includes an introduction by Terry Pinkard, an American philosopher and professor at Georgetown University, which examines Heine both in relation to Hegel and Nietzsche and as a thinker in his own right.
