Abstract

Christiane Hegel, H.s unmarried sister, suffered from mental disease in her later years; she committed suicide only a few month after H.s death. Her life, in the shadows of the celebrated philosopher, attracted the attention of interpreters like Derrida and Kimmerle, and unfortunately was the object of suspicious and fanciful stories. In her biography of Christiane, Alexandra Birkert destroys some of these fairy tales and gives us a reliable historical account of Christiane's private and political life - always with respect to H. © Felix Meiner Verlag.
