Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In German-speaking modernity, Robert Musil may lay the last valid claim to the title of Universalgenie. Trained as a soldier, engineer, philosopher, and psychologist, he did not shy from investigations beyond his accredited purview. His work repurposes the conceptual inventories of literature, philosophy, science, law, medicine, politics, education, etc. to revisit classical questions of beauty, truth, and morality within an ultra-complex modern context. The answers he finds are not conclusive but suggestive and always invite re-examination. Musil studies, at its best, embraces his practice of multivalent inquiry, and the present essay collection endeavors to follow suit. Drawing from Musils fiction, essays, letters, diaries, and public addresses, the authors of this volume offer unexpected treatments of ideas that Musil examined and reveal previously overlooked links between those ideas and other authors, works, and movements. The contributions have a footing in fields such as psychology, sociology, and statistics; cover concepts like humor, identity, and love; and deal with literary epochs or theories ranging from Romanticism and Modernity to decadence and reader response. This collection of essays offers new connections between Austrian writer, Robert Musil (18801942), and the ideas and intellectual movements belonging to his past, present, and future. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Das Thema 'Terror' ist in aller Munde. Dabei verbinden sich politische Aktionen mit einer religiös-fundamentalistischen Ideologie. Aus kulturgeschichtlicher Perspektive erweist sich der thematische Konnex von Terror und Erlösung keineswegs als neu, sondern ist mit dem Problem der 'Ungleichzeitigkeit' verschiedener Kulturen in der Moderne verbunden. In diesem Zusammenhang ist Robert Musil als politischer Autor und Diagnostiker der Zwischenkriegszeit erst noch zu entdecken.
