Download or read book The Philosophy of Conan the Barbarian written by and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is already a cult book in certain circles. Although it's aimed at the average reader, it contains something characteristic of turning points in the history of philosophy. Like ancient Greek (Socrates) and modern philosophy (Descartes), Serbian contemporary philosophy gets its demon too. Apart from the appearance of the Daemon as the inspirer of this book, the theme itself is unusual. In fact, this work is like a multiple personality connected by a single thread that can be followed throughout the book - the theme of barbarians. The book deals with philosophical topics covered in the cult film Conan the Barbarian. Those are the ideas of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Hegel, which are presented in an artistically remarkably successful way by famous American director John Milius. The philosophical views presented in the film, when it comes to eternal life and philosophical issues are complemented by the author's attempt to synthesize Kant's ethical formalism and Nietzsche's dualistic immoralism. Like a real treat, the theory of human sexuality as the cause of barbarian invasions is left for the end. But we don't know whether this intriguing theory is a step back or forward for the civilization. Does a civilized man have to look up to Nietzsche's ideal of "overman" in order to avoid being replaced by a barbarian? It's perhaps the best to read this book and judge for yourself.

Download or read book Conan Meets the Academy written by Jonas Prida and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert E. Howard penned a series of fantasy stories in 1932 featuring Conan, a hulking warrior from "Cimmeria" who roamed the mythical Hyborian Age landscape engaging in heroic adventures. More than the quirky manifestation of Depression-era magazines, Conan the Barbarian has endured as a cultural mainstay for over 70 years. This multidisciplinary collection offers the first scholarly investigation of Conan, from Howard's early stories, through midcentury novels and Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic films, to the 2011 cinematic remake of Conan the Barbarian. Drawing on disciplines such as stylometry, archeology, cultural and folklore studies and literary history, the essays examine statistical analyses of the words in Conan texts, the literary genesis of Conan, later-day parodies, Conan video games, and much more. This volume reveals the hidden scholarly depth of this seemingly unsophisticated fictional character.
