Download or read book A Dark History of Modern Philosophy written by Bernard Freydberg and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative reassessment of modern philosophy explores its nonrational dimensions and connection to ancient mysteries. Delving beneath the principal discourses of philosophyfrom Descartes through Kant, Bernard Freydberg plumbs the previously concealed dark forces that ignite the inner power of modern thought. He contends that reason itself issues from an implicit and unconscious suppression of the nonrational. Even the modern philosophical concerns of nature and limits are undergirded by a dark side that dwells in them and makes them possible. Freydberg traces these dark sources to the poetry of Hesiod, the fragments of Heraclitus and Parmenides, and the Platonic dialogues and claims that they rear their heads again in the work of Spinoza, Schelling, and Nietzsche. Freydberg does not set forth a critique of modern philosophy but explores its intrinsic continuity with its ancient roots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Introduction to Modern Philosophy The following pages have been written with a definite aim in view. This aim has been, in as untechnical a way as possible, and with as little presupposition of previous philosophical training, to show how the problems of philosophy, which are apt to seem to the student on his first introduction to them rather arbitrary and unintelligible, and with no very apparent relation to the concrete interests of life, in reality are not manufactured problems, but arise of necessity out of any attempt honestly to understand the world, and to appreciate the value which belongs to human experience.
