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

Im alltäglichen Denken und in den Medien ist Macht meist negativ besetzt. Dass Macht auch produktiv wirkt, wird dabei oftmals vergessen.Der historische Wandel von der traditionellen Souveränitätsmacht zu den subtilen Mechanismen moderner Disziplinargesellschaften ist ein Beispiel für die produktive Seite von Macht. Im Zentrum dieses Wandels stehen der Beginn der modernen Leistungsgesellschaft und die wachsende Ungleichheit der Vermögensverteilung. Um die Produktivität von Macht zu verstehen, spürt das vorliegende Buch die stilistischen und ästhetischen Mittel der genealogischen Erzählungen von Foucault und Nietzsche auf. Die Genealogie ist eine Blickschule des Denkens, die von berühmten Denkern wie Rousseau, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud, Wittgenstein und Foucault in ihren Gesellschaftsdiagnosen auf je unterschiedliche Weisen angewandt wurde. Der hierfür typische Blick auf den Menschen in seiner Gesellschaft und Kultur ist sichtverändernd und erfordert bestimmte Techniken ästhetischer Vorstellungskraft.

Abstract

Histories of German philosophy in the nineteenth century typically focus on its first half-when Hegel, idealism, and Romanticism dominated. By contrast, the remainder of the century, after Hegel's death, has been relatively neglected because it has been seen as a period of stagnation and decline. But Frederick Beiser argues that the second half of the century was in fact one of the most revolutionary periods in modern philosophy because the nature of philosophy itself was up for grabs and the very absence of certainty led to creativity and the start of a new era. In this innovative concise history of German philosophy from 1840 to 1900, Beiser focuses not on themes or individual thinkers but rather on the period's five great debates: the identity crisis of philosophy, the materialism controversy, the methods and limits of history, the pessimism controversy, and the Ignorabimusstreit. Schopenhauer and Wilhelm Dilthey play important roles in these controversies but so do many neglected figures, including Ludwig Büchner, Eugen Dühring, Eduard von Hartmann, Julius Fraunstaedt, Hermann Lotze, Adolf Trendelenburg, and two women, Agnes Taubert and Olga Pluemacher, who have been completely forgotten in histories of philosophy. The result is a wide-ranging, original, and surprising new account of German philosophy in the critical period between Hegel and the twentieth century.

Abstract

German-language thinkers such as Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud are central to modernity. Yet their reception in the English-speaking world has largely depended on translations, a situation that has often hampered full engagement with the rhetorical and philosophical complexity of the German history of ideas. The present volume, the first of its kind, is a response to this situation. After an introduction charting the remarkable flowering of German-language thought since the eighteenth century, it offers extracts -- in the original German -- from sixteen major philosophical texts, with extensive introductions and annotations in English. All extracts are carefully chosen to introduce the individual thinkers while allowing the reader to pursue broader themes such as the fate of reason or the history of modern selfhood. The book offers students and scholars of German a complement to linguistic, historical, and literary study by giving them access to the wealth of German-language philosophy. It represents a new way into the work of a succession of thinkers who have defined modern philosophy and thus remain of crucial relevance today. The philosophers: Immanuel Kant, G. W. F. Hegel, Ludwig Feuerbach, Karl Marx, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, Georg Lukács, Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, Jürgen Habermas. Henk de Berg is Professor of German at the University of Sheffield. Duncan Large is Professor of German at Swansea University.

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

Melancholy is not only about sadness, despair, and loss. As Renaissance artists and philosophers acknowledged long ago, it can engender a certain kind of creativity born from a deep awareness of the mutability of life and the inevitable cycle of birth and death. Drawing on psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the intellectual history of the history of art, The Melancholy Art explores the unique connections between melancholy and the art historian's craft. Though the objects art historians study are materially present in our world, the worlds from which they come are forever lost to time. In this eloquent and inspiring book, Michael Ann Holly traces how this disjunction courses through the history of art and shows how it can give rise to melancholic sentiments in historians who write about art. She confronts pivotal and vexing questions in her discipline: Why do art historians write in the first place? What kinds of psychic exchanges occur between art objects and those who write about them? What institutional and personal needs does art history serve? What is lost in historical writing about art? The Melancholy Art looks at how melancholy suffuses the work of some of the twentieth century's most powerful and poetic writers on the history of art, including Alois Riegl, Franz Wickhoff, Adrian Stokes, Michael Baxandall, Meyer Schapiro, and Jacques Derrida. A disarmingly personal meditation by one of our most distinguished art historians, this book explains why to write about art is to share in a kind of intertwined pleasure and loss that is the very essence of melancholy. Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Abstract

Building on recent transformative theories of influence, John Foster explores the many ways Nietzsche's intellectual and artistic example helped shape an interconnected series of major literary projects from 1900 to the 1940s. He portrays Nietzsche as a stimulating but disturbing force who left a well-defined legacy of concerns that modernists appropriated for their fiction. The author focuses particularly on Gide, D. H. Lawrence, Malraux, and Mann, analyzing their strategies of acceptance, revision, and subversion.Originally published in 1982.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. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract
