Abstract

Ce livre offre une étude exhaustive de la notion de vie et de ses implications dans la philosophie d'Arthur Schopenhauer. L'objectif consiste à jeter les bases d'une interprétation inédite de l'affirmation de la vie. Dans ses différents ouvrages, Schopenhauer propose des définitions de la vie variées, polymorphes et plurielles. Néanmoins, il est possible de reconduire toutes ces définitions à un principe métaphysique fondamental : la volonté de vivre. Dès lors, il s'agit de comprendre la vie en tant que telle et non pas uniquement les modes et degrés d'affirmation de la volonté de vivre dans le monde. Qu'est-ce qu'une vie comme volonté? C'est une vie qui se veut elle-même et qui appelle toujours déjà en soi son affirmation. De ce point de vue, les raisons de vivre encore trouvent leur justification au sein même du principe qu'incarne tout vivant : cette volonté qui ne veut que la vie. Même si la souffrance apparaît chez Schopenhauer comme le problème tragique et inévitable de toute vie face auquel seule la négation de la volonté apporte une solution efficace, du point de vue de la vie, une telle négation apparaît discutable, sinon impossible. *** Das Werk bietet eine ausführliche Studie über den Begriff des Lebens und seine Wirkung in der Philosophie Schopenhauers. Es zielt darauf ab, die bislang nicht breit diskutierte Auslegung der Bejahung des Willens bei Schopenhauer auf ein solides Fundament zu stellen. Wenngleich Schopenhauer in seiner Philosophie verschiedene Definitionen des Lebens vorstellt, besteht stets die Möglichkeit, sie alle unter einem einzigen metaphysischen Prinzip zu subsumieren: dem Willen zum Leben. Infolgedessen darf das Leben nicht nur unter dem Aspekt seiner Modalitäten oder den Stufen der Objektivation des Willens verstanden werden, sondern als ein Leben an sich. Was ist das Leben als Wille? Es ist ein Leben, das sich selbst will, das immer wieder selbst nach seiner Bejahung ruft. Unter diesem Aspekt gründen die Ursachen des Weiter-Lebens auf einem alles Lebendige verkörpernden Prinzip, ausgedrückt als der Wille, der das Leben will. Und wenn in Schopenhauers Philosophie das Leiden eine tragende Rolle als das bestimmende Problem des Lebens einnimmt und als Ausweg daraus nur die Verneinung des Lebens gelten darf, scheint aber aus der Perspektive des Lebens diese Lösung fraglich, wenn nicht gar unmöglich.

Abstract

The most extensive English-language study of Schopenhauer's metaphysics of the will yet published, this book represents a major contribution to Schopenhauer scholarship. Here, John E. Atwell critically but sympathetically examines the philosopher's main work, The World as Will and Representation, demonstrating that the philosophical system it puts forth does constitute a consistent whole. The author holds that this system is centered on a single thought, "The world is self-knowledge of the will." He then traces this unifying concept through the four books of The World as Will and Representation, and, in the process, dissolves the work's alleged inconsistencies.

Abstract

Why, during the last two hundred years, when critical achievement in the field of tragedy has been outstanding, has there been little creative practice? David Lenson examines the work of various writers not ordinarily placed in the tragic tradition-among them, Kleist, Goethe, Melville, Yeats, and Faulkner-and suggests that the tradition of tragedy does continue in genres other than drama, that is, in the novel and even in lyric poetry.The notion of tragedy's migration from one genre to others indicates, however, rather sweeping modifications in the theory of tragedy. Achilles' Choice proposes a structural model for tragic criticism that synthesizes the almost scientific theories predominant since World War II with the irrationalist theories they replaced.Originally published in 1975.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Abstract

Nietzsche's impact on the world of culture, philosophy, and the arts is uncontested, but his political thought remains mired in controversy. By placing Nietzsche back in his late-nineteenth-century German context, Nietzsche's Great Politics moves away from the disputes surrounding Nietzsche's appropriation by the Nazis and challenges the use of the philosopher in postmodern democratic thought. Rather than starting with contemporary democratic theory or continental philosophy, Hugo Drochon argues that Nietzsche's political ideas must first be understood in light of Bismarck's policies, in particular his "Great Politics," which transformed the international politics of the late nineteenth century.Nietzsche's Great Politics shows how Nietzsche made Bismarck's notion his own, enabling him to offer a vision of a unified European political order that was to serve as a counterbalance to both Britain and Russia. This order was to be led by a "good European" cultural elite whose goal would be to encourage the rebirth of Greek high culture. In relocating Nietzsche's politics to their own time, the book offers not only a novel reading of the philosopher but also a more accurate picture of why his political thought remains so relevant today.
