Toward Nationalism's End
This intellectual biography of Hans Kohn (1891-1971) looks at theories of nationalism in the twentieth century as articulated through the life and work of its leading scholar and activist. Hans Kohn was born in late nineteenth-century Prague, but his peripatetic life took him from the Revolutionary-era Russia to interwar-era Palestine under the British Empire to the United States during the Cold War.

Existential Thought and Therapeutic Practice
`A lucid and much-needed account of existential psychotherapy... As well as locating existential psychotherapy within a historical and philosophical context, Hans Cohn encompasses various therapeutic issues and provides some vivid and sensitive passages of case material... I found the book provided a concise and clarifying account of the underlying philosophy and of the psychotherapeutic practice... The existentialist challenge to Freud outlined in the book provides an alternative point of view to counter potentially engulfing aspects of a psychoanalytic vision.

Poetry. The English poet Michael Hamburger, author of the introduction to the present volume, has long championed Hans W. Cohn, writing of his work: they are existential parables written with an extraordinary precision, and without the aid of rhetoric or conventional pathos.

[Cohn's work] is distinguished by a scrupulous spareness and his poems are reductions of experience to its bare bones. WITH ALL FIVE SENSES is translated by the poet's brother, writer Frederick G. Cohn.
Zionism and the Roads Not Taken
