Work focuses on

Stekeler wide Hofer's work focuses on questions the philosophy of language, action theory and philosophy of logic dar. In addition, he is interested, the relationship between traditional (Plato, Kant, Hegel) and analytic philosophy ( Frege, Wittgenstein, Carnap, Quine ).

Opposite Views of Analytic Philosophy, he keeps the language of Hegel, Nietzsche and Heidegger interpreted philosophically meaningful. He turns as Friedrich Kambartel against a purely formal sense.

Hegel's master-slave chapter is understood by Stekeler - Next Hofer as a critique of the Socratic- Platonic metaphor of the soul as ruler of the body. Stekeler - Weithofer shows a path of personal self- consciousness on, rather than social theory lift to a struggle for recognition: It differs in a reading of Plato between a psyche as the bearer of reputation and honor, and our death has on hand and an active Arete person ( virtue ), in which we act independently of any foreign praise or blame conscientious self-validating. Care is taken that the soul is not ontologically misunderstood as real existence of a spiritual being called ' soul '.
