- Inhalt:
- For distinguished philosopher Hans Blumenberg, lions were a life-long obsession. Lions, translated by K‡ri Driscoll, collects thirty-two of BlumenbergÕs philosophical vignettes to reveal that the figure of the lion unites two of his other great preoccupations: metaphors and anecdotes as non-philosophical forms of knowledge. Each of these short texts, sparkling with erudition and humor, is devoted to a peculiar leonine presenceÑor, in many cases, absenceÑin literature, art, philosophy, religion, and politics. From Ecclesiastes to the New Testament Apocrypha, DŸrer to Henri Rousseau, Aesop and La Fontaine to Rilke and Thomas Mann, the extraordinary breadth of BlumenbergÕs knowledge and intellectual curiosity is on full display. Lions has much to offer readers, both those already familiar with BlumenbergÕs oeuvre and newcomers looking for an introduction to the thought of one of GermanyÕs most important postwar philosophers.
