Download or read book The Gift of Beauty and the Passion of Being written by William Desmond and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers a set of reflections on the gift of beauty and the passion of being. There is something surprising about beauty that we receive and that moves the passion of being in us. The book takes issue with an ambiguous attitude to beauty among some who proclaim their advanced aesthetic authenticity. Beauty seems bland and lacks the more visceral thrill of the ugly, indeed the excremental. We crave what disrupts and provokes us, not what gives delight or even consoles. By contrast, attention is given to how beauty arouses enigmatic joy in us, and we enjoy an elemental rapport with it as other. Surprised by beauty, our breath is taken away, but we are more truly there with the beautiful when we are taken outside of ourselves. We are first receivers of the gift of surprise and only then perceivers and conceivers. My attention to the passion of being stresses a patience, a receptivity to what is other. What happens is not first our construction. There is something given, something awakening, something delighting, something energizing, something of invitation to transcendence. The theme is amplified in diverse reflections: on life and its transient beauty; on soul music and its relation to self; on the shine on things given in creation; on beauty and Schopenhauer's dark origin; on creativity and the dynamis in Paul Weiss's creative ventures; on redemption in Romanticism in the thought of Stanley Cavell; on theater as a between or metaxu; on redeeming laughter and its connection with the passion of being.

Book excerpt: Writing is a dangerous business. Edwin O'Donne, a neophyte novelist, has been increasingly forgetful, leaving his head in his writing after he is done with it. He no longer can be sure whether something happened in truth or only in his professional imagination, in some scene he had written. Into this prelude to insanity enters a mysterious, hedonistic woman who accosts his mind in the street, seducing him with philosophy. He comes to love her in but a few days. Yet how can he know she is real and not simply some character in one of his novels? Edwin fakes suicide and a coma to test her devotion. The real test, though, is of his own sanity.

Download or read book Kierkegaard Concluding Unscientific Postscript written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-28 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript is a classic of existential literature. It concludes the first and richest phase of Kierkegaard's pseudonymous authorship and is the text that philosophers look to first when attempting to define Kierkegaard's own philosophy. Familiar Kierkegaardian themes are introduced in the work, including truth as subjectivity, indirect communication, the leap, and the impossibility of forming a philosophical system for human existence. The Postscript sums up the aims of the preceding pseudonymous works and opens the way to the next part of Kierkegaard's increasingly tempestuous life: it can thus be seen as a cornerstone of his philosophical thought. This volume offers the work in a new and accessible translation by Alastair Hannay, together with an introduction that sets the work in its philosophical and historical contexts.
