Book Description
Die drei heroischen Gestalten Hölderlins, Kleistens und Nietzsches haben eine sinnfällige Gemeinsamkeit schon im äußern Lebensschicksal: sie stehen gleichsam unter demselben horoskopischen Aspekt. Alle drei werden sie von einer übermächtigen, gewissermaßen überweltlichen Macht aus ihrem eigenen warmen Sein in einen vernichtenden Zyklon der Leidenschaft gejagt und enden vorzeitig in einer furchtbaren Verstörung des Geistes, einer tödlichen Trunkenheit der Sinne, in Wahnsinn oder Selbstmord. Unverbunden mit der Zeit, unverstanden von ihrer Generation, schießen sie meteorisch mit kurzem strahlenden Licht in die Nacht ihrer Sendung. Sie selbst wissen nicht um ihren Weg, um ihren Sinn, weil sie nur vom Unendlichen her in Unendliches fahren: kaum streifen sie in jähem Sturz und Aufstieg ihres Seins an die wirkliche Welt. Etwas Außermenschliches wirkt in ihnen, eine Gewalt über der eigenen Gewalt, der sie sich vollkommen verfallen fühlen: sie gehorchen nicht (schreckhaft erkennen sie es in den wenigen wachen Minuten ihres Ich) dem eigenen Willen, sondern sind Hörige, sind (im zwiefachen Sinne des Worts) Besessene einer höheren Macht, der dämonischen.

Against Nihilism
Author: Stepenberg Maia Stepenberg
Publisher: Black Rose Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1551646781
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Described by Thomas Mann as "e;brothers in spirit, but tragically grotesque companions in misfortune,"e; Nietzsche and Dostoevsky remain towering figures in the intellectual development of European modernity. Maia Johnson-Stepenberg's accessible new introduction to these philosophers compares their writings on key topics such as criminality, Christianity, and the figure of the "e;outsider"e; to reveal the urgency and contemporary resonance of their shared struggle against nihilism. Against Nihilism also considers nihilism in the context of current political and social struggles, placing Nietzsche and Dostoevsky's contributions at the heart of important contemporary debates regarding community, identity, and meaning. Inspired by class discussions with her students and aimed at first-team readers of Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, Against Nihilism provides an accessible, unique comparative study of these two key thinkers.

Words in Blood, Like Flowers
Author:
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791481336
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Why did Nietzsche claim to have "written in blood"? Why did Heidegger remain silent after World War II about his participation in the Nazi Party? How did Hölderlin's voice and the voices of other, more ancient poets come to echo in philosophy? Words in Blood, Like Flowers is a classical expression of continental philosophy that critically engages the intersection of poetry, art, music, politics, and the erotic in an exploration of the power they have over us. While focusing on three key figures—Hölderlin, Nietzsche, and Heidegger—this volume covers a wide range of material, from the Ancient Greeks to the vicissitudes of the politics of our times, and approaches these and other questions within their hermeneutic and historical contexts. Working from primary texts and a wide range of scholarly sources in French, German, and English, this book is an important contribution to philosophy's most ancient quarrels not only with poetry, but also with music and erotic love.

Demonic History
Author: Kirk Wetters
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810129760
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
In this ambitious book, Kirk Wetters traces the genealogy of the demonic in German literature from its imbrications in Goethe to its varying legacies in the work of essential authors, both canonical and less well known, such as Gundolf, Spengler, Benjamin, Lukács, and Doderer. Wetters focuses especially on the philological and metaphorological resonances of the demonic from its core formations through its appropriations in the tumultuous twentieth century. Propelled by equal parts theoretical and historical acumen, Wetters explores the ways in which the question of the demonic has been employed to multiple theoretical, literary, and historico-political ends. He thereby produces an intellectual history that will be consequential both to scholars of German literature and to comparatists.
