![]() - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Librería 0. Estante 1. Gombrowicz es muy sucinto y muy divertido a la hora de recorrer el pensamiento de los filósofos más importantes de los últimos tiempos. Un libro absolutamente recomendable para aquellos apasionados por la filosofía, una puerta de entrada ideal. Maybe someone can disabuse me of this notion, but this book seems almost entirely worthless. If you want a very quick introduction to these philosophers, you would do better on Wikipedia (especially the German version). Gombrowicz is, I think, one of the principal novelists of the last century. His short stories are tremendous; 'Cosmos' in the new translation is a masterpiece. I thought that even if I wasn't persuaded by his take on philosophy, I might learn something about him, or about his novels; and I also thought I'de be entertained, because he can be fabulously funny. But I can't get any insight into his novels from this; it's apparently intended to be whimsical, but for me, at least, there isn't much whimsy here. And I would not read it for information about these philosophers. Not philosophy. Not a guide. Gombrowicz is spectacular, but this book has far, far, far, far, far, far, far less interest than, say, 'How I Wrote Certain of My Books,' Enzensberger's book on math, or David Foster Wallace's book on infinity. It's trite, fragmentary, and careless about philosophy. But if someone out there can make the connection between his novels and this book, I'd be happy to hear about it. less good than usual, but still a Gombrowicz näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969), novelist, essayist, and playwright, was one of the most important Polish writers of the twentieth century. A candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968, he was described by Milan Kundera as “one of the great novelists of our century” and by John Updike as “one of the profoundest of the late moderns.” Gombrowicz’s works were considered scandalous and subversive by the ruling powers in Poland and were banned for nearly forty years. He spent his last years in France teaching philosophy; this book is a series of reflections based on his lectures. Gombrowicz discusses Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Heidegger in six “one-hour” essays and addresses Marxism in a shorter “fifteen-minute” piece. The text—a small literary gem full of sardonic wit, brilliant insights, and provocative criticism—constructs the philosophical lineage of his work. No library descriptions found. |
