Krisis der Metaphysik

Viac o knihe

The book explores various philosophical themes through a collection of essays divided into three main sections. The first section delves into the physical and metaphysical state of humanity, examining concepts such as the unity of existence and the influence of Greek philosophy on Paul. It also addresses the metaphysical dimensions found in Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov." The second section critiques metaphysics, focusing on Nietzsche's perspectives. It discusses the relationship between reason, truth, and the art of reading, alongside Nietzsche's tragic thought and the concepts of will to power versus will to truth. Additionally, it highlights the preparatory role of Schopenhauer's ideas in Nietzsche's critique of metaphysics and the self-reflection within philosophy as interpreted through deconstructive readings. The final section presents aspects of post-metaphysical thinking, emphasizing truth as interpretation and the interplay of time and hermeneutics. It explores moral implications of immorality, the philosophical justification for liberal politics, and the internal structure of thought. The essays also consider the role of philosophy in understanding dimensions of faith and examine literary connections, particularly Maeterlinck's influence on Musil's "Törless." The book concludes with comprehensive indexes of writings and subjects.
