Richard Wagner in Bayreuth (Unzeitgemasse Betrachtungen IV). Nachgelassene Fragmente Anfang 1875 - Fruhling 1876
by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
This book sets out to answer the question of why Eastern Church writers showed no interest in analytical reasoning - the so-called "intellectual silence" of Rus' culture - while Western Church writers, by the time of the Scholastics, routinely incorporated analytical reasoning into their defences of the faith. Donald Ostrowski suggests that Western, post-Enlightenment- trained, analytical scholars miss the point, not because of an inability to comprehend cultural ideas which seem abstract and in...

Abunaser
by Lambert M Surhone, Miriam T Timpledon, and Susan F Marseken
This book provides an encompassing and thorough study of Martin Heidegger's thought. It is not only a presentation but also a profound critique of the thinker's beliefs. In the context of Heidegger's cooperation with Nazism, the author reflects on the reasons behind his inability to confront the problem of evil and vulnerability to the threats of totalitarianism.
In this volume Leo Strauss presents a coherent and complete interpretation of Plato's "Symposium", proceeding by meticulous reading, from beginning to end. Strauss, operating on the idea that commentary is an useful method of expounding the truth, sheds light on the meaning of the dialogue and its place in the Platonic corpus, and also on a host of other topics, including the nature of eros and its place in the overall economy of human life, the quarrel between poetry and philosophy, and the cha...

Bachelard Et La Poetique Du Temps (Miroir Et Image. Philosophische Abhandlungen, #5)
by Maryvonne Perrot
Bachelard, l'homme du poeme et du theoreme, a souvent pose a ses lecteurs le probleme d'une coexistence de son engagement rationaliste avec son penchant pour l'imaginaire. La question primordiale a resondre est celle de l'absence d'une Poetique du temps, pendant de la Poetique de l'espace, chez un philosophe ayant reflechi sur les notions d'instant et de duree des ses premieres oeuvres. L'ouvrage propose donc de partir a la recherche de la Poetique du temps afin de determiner comment a travers...
