Dietrich von Hildebrand was a German-Catholic thinker and teacher who, in response to the rise of Nazism, devoted the full force of his intellect to doing public battle with Hitler for the hearts and minds of the German people. In My Battle Against Hitler, von Hildebrand tells of the scorn and ridicule he endured for sounding the alarm when many still viewed Hitler as a positive and inevitable force. He tells how he defiantly challenged Nazism in the public square, prompting the German ambassador in Vienna to describe him to Hitler as "the architect of the intellectual resistance." And throughout it all, he conveys his unwavering trust in God, even during his harrowing escape from Vienna and his desperate flight across Europe, with the Nazis always just one step behind.

In "What is Philosophy?" the philosopher Dietrich von Hildebrand analyzes the datum of knowledge itself in its different forms, from the most casual perception of some object in our naive experience to "a priori knowledge", taken as consisting of absolutely certain insights into "necessary essences". Plato's central teaching about the kind of human knowledge which transcends the world of time and of becoming is here clarified and deepened. Precise lines are drawn which distinguish empirical knowledge, such as is found in the physical sciences, from a priori knowledge. Von Hildebrand also draws lines which distinguish fruitful a priori knowledge (synthetic a priori) from mere tautologies. Von Hildebrand's method is thus sharply opposed to the analytic school of philosophy. This book should be of interest to advanced students and teachers of philosophy.
