In this surprising and insightful study, Roger Bartra explores how three lucid European thinkers - Immanuel Kant, Max Weber and Walter Benjamin - addressed melancholy, a condition of imbalance, chaotic and desolate, and a keystone of modern Western thought.
Roger Bartra Poradie kníh
Roger Bartra je významný výskumník, ktorého dielo sa ponára do zložitej súhry medzi mytológiou, národnou identitou a ľudskou mysľou. Jeho odborná práca skúma pretrvávajúcu prítomnosť archetýpu „divocha“ v modernej spoločnosti a zložité spôsoby, akými politická moc konštruuje imaginárne siete. Bartra kriticky skúma západný mýtus melanchólie a jeho kultúrne prejavy, čím ponúka hlboké pohľady na to, ako sa stretáva kultúrne dedičstvo a poznanie.
