Dostoyevsky Reads Hegel in Siberia and Bursts Into Tears

by Ottilie Mulzet, László F. Földényi
₱589.05
Dostoyevsky Reads Hegel in Siberia and Bursts Into Tears
Dostoyevsky Reads Hegel in Siberia and Bursts Into Tears

Intellectual wrestling with Enlightenment's dark aftermath.

If you find yourself drawn to profound contemplations that grapple with the grand consequences of a post-religious world, Laszlo F. Földenyi's essay collection might just resonate with you. With a style that echoes Montaigne's reflections, Benjamin's cultural scrutiny, and Mann's literary depth, this book offers a labyrinth of thoughts that aren't just intellectually stimulating but also woven with a passionate quest for metaphysical and moral understanding. It's a dense read, but if you're the type who embraces a challenge and seeks to explore the depths of human thought and history, you'll find this collection a rewarding endeavor.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An exemplary collection of work from one of the world’s leading scholars of intellectual history. László Földényi’s work, in the long tradition of public intellectual and cultural criticism, resonates with the writings of Montaigne, Walter Benjamin, and Thomas Mann. In this new essay collection, Földényi considers the continuing fallout from the collapse of religion, exploring how Enlightenment traditions have not replaced basic elements of previously held religious mythologies—neither their metaphysical completeness nor their comforting purpose. Realizing beautiful writing through empathy, imagination, fascination, and a fierce sense of justice, Földényi covers a wide range of topics including a meditation on the metaphysical unity of a sculpture group and an analysis of fear as a window into our relationship with time.
