Download or read book Beyond Hegel and Nietzsche written by Elliot L. Jurist and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002-01-25 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Hegel and Nietzsche philosophical opposites? Can twentieth-century Continental philosophers be categorized as either Hegelians or Nietzscheans? In this book Elliot Jurist places Hegel and Nietzsche in conversation with each other, reassessing their relationship in a way that affirms its complexity. Jurist examines Hegel's and Nietzsche's claim that philosophy and culture are linked and explicates the various meanings of "culture" in their work—in particular, the contrast both thinkers draw between ancient and modern culture. He evaluates their positions on the failure of modern culture and on the need to develop conceptions of satisfied agency. It is Jurist's original contribution to focus on the psychological sensibility that informs the project of both philosophers. Writing in an admirably clear style, he traces the ongoing legacy of Hegel's and Nietzsche's thought in Adorno, Habermas, Honneth, Jessica Benjamin, Heidegger, Derrida, Lacan, and Butler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly half a century, T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) - poet, critic, editor, publisher, social thinker, and playwright - claimed a central role in European intellectual life. Readers searching for a common thread among Eliot's interventions have often struggled to reconcile apparently disparate elements: e.g., the avant-garde poetry and the 'conservative' politics, or the existential alienation of The Waste Land and the spiritual ambition of Four Quartets. This dissertation proposes a new reading of Eliot's body of work. Taking as its starting point Eliot's aborted career in academic philosophy, it proposes that Eliot's poetry, alongside his dramatic, critical, and political writings, can be understood as an unfolding disclosure of the person as the heart and summit of reality. Eliot's early investigations in the tradition of philosophical Idealism helped him to crystallize, intellectually, the existential problematic that animated his first, explosive poems; the conflicts between spirit and body, self and other, freedom and mechanism, seemed inexorably to lead to ramifying fragmentation and despair. However, those same philosophical studies provided a glimpse of a dynamic perspective beyond the static intentionality of standard modern philosophical categories: that of the person, who is constitutively self-transcendent, possessing himself only by way of dispossession. The mythic triad of life, death, and rebirth is the basic 'structure' of reality; not apprehensible intellectually, it must be lived, existentially, in the infinite interiority of the spirit. The person is the junction of time and eternity, material and spiritual reality - the category that overturns all other categories. As continuously self-exceeding, the person is the heart and summit of reality because nothing can be higher; the person is the boundary that surpasses all boundaries. For Eliot, the same insight reveals that the person is also the heart of political order. The transcendent dimension of the person marks the limit of political power; every system, however well-intentioned, that fails to recognize this, promises only to destroy the person altogether. Eliot's political vision is figured poetically and dramatically in the martyr, who is the archetype of the person. In loving obedience to the divine call, he surrenders his life, and in doing so demonstrates in the most forceful way the imperative of all persons to displace themselves in loving preference for others. The martyr affirms the transcendence of persons, stretching himself out in faith beyond the reach of earthly power, establishing community that lives beyond the grasp of coercion. Beginning with his earliest, unpublished manuscripts, and culminating in the wartime Quartets, Eliot's oeuvre traces an arc of discovery in which irreconcilable conflicts are overcome through the gradual recognition, adoption, and articulation of the revolutionary perspective of the person. To this extent, Eliot emerges as a key figure in the ongoing illumination of the intellectual and existential challenges presented by the modern age.

Download or read book T S Eliot and American Poetry written by Lee Oser and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in a fine and lucid prose style, T. S. Eliot and American Poetry presents a critical study of Eliot's major poems as it examines what America means to its poets. Eliot's contribution to a poetic dialogue on this subject with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, Hart Crane, Robert Lowell, John Ashbery, and other literary figures plays a significant role in this groundbreaking study. Investigating Eliot's literary inheritance through his familial traditions, represented particularly by his mother, Charlotte Eliot, and in terms of the American Renaissance, Lee Oser addresses all phases of Eliot's career as a poet. Following an introduction that reevaluates the importance of Poe and Whitman for Eliot and modernism, the discussion proceeds from Eliot's reaction against the progressive ethos of late Puritan culture, to the appearance in his writing of numerous figures of exile and disinheritance as an expression of lost American patrimony, to his flight from the realm of history, and his eventual return to the spiritual and cultural traditions of New England. A final chapter weighs Eliot's impact on Robert Lowell, John Ashbery, and Elizabeth Bishop. Through its dialectical view of American literary and intellectual history, T. S. Eliot and American Poetry constructs a practical methodology for comparing Eliot with other American poets. Juxtaposing Eliot's poems, lectures, and essays (including generous excerpts from Eliot's uncollected prose) with landmark texts by Emerson, Poe, Whitman, and many others, Oser engages in a deeper analysis of Eliot's Americanness than has hitherto been possible. In addressing Eliot's treatment of America as symbol and topos, the work presents a multifaceted chronicle of Eliot's development that enriches formalist and historicist approaches alike. T. S. Eliot and American Poetry makes numerous original contributions to the field of literary history. No previous work has so richly pursued Eliot's literary and familial inheritance, as well as his legacy to American poetry; the result is a highly nuanced perspective on contemporary debates about poetry, criticism, and culture.
Download or read book The Spirituality of T S Eliot written by Walter Redmond and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his preface, Redmond writes: "A century ago, Thomas Sterns Eliot published The Waste Land (1922), the poem that shook the staid world of Anglo-Saxon intellectuals. Eliot thought that the hope of the renaissance, after passing through the rationality of the Enlightenment and the utopia of the 19th century, was ending in a desert of 'futility and desperation'. He saw the cause as culture loss. We have broken with our deepest traditions: literary, philosophical, spiritual; we have lost our humanities, our humanity. [...] Eliot never lost his pessimism. But he balanced this realism with the hopefulness obvious in his later works, especially in Four Quartets, but hinted at in The Waste Land. He spoke of a turning; we may always turn away from chaos, turn back to our roots, 'fare forward', even 'beyond'. In Four Quartets, he wished to 'retune the delicate relation of the Eternal to the transient'". The Spirituality of TS Eliot is Redmond's gloss to Eliot's most significant poems focusing on their spirituality. Drawing on Eliot's literary, theological, philosophical and religious heritage, Redmond offers us the most comprehensive study of the influential Anglo-American poet's lifelong cultivation of mysticism. More than another work of literary criticism, Redmond has attempted in this book to explain the poems' spiritual meaning and to unearth the relevant sources necessary to understand Eliot's mystical background. Walter Redmond (Chicago, 1933) is a distinguished researcher and professor of philosophy and theology. He has published hundreds of articles and dozens of books on logic and Novohispanic philosophy, theological philosophy, analytic philosophy, and phenomenology in German, English, Spanish, and Latin, as well as taught in various countries in Europe and America. Redmond has also translated Edith Stein's works into English and Antonio Rubio's works on logic into Spanish.
