On Genius

Affirmation and Denial from Schopenhauer to Wittgenstein.

This study first describes Schopenhauer's position (his injection of a subjective brand of Neo-Platonism into Post-Kantian thought) by concentrating on his account of the Genius, and proceeds to trace reactions to that figure in the works of Nietzsche, Jung, Freud, and Wittgenstein. The author's ambition is twofold: to resolve certain issues of interpretation regarding the positions of those following Schopenhauer, and to relate the history of a movement that encompassed both ordinary language philosophy, psychoanalysis, analytic psychology, and the work of Nietzsche. 211 Seiten, gebunden (American University Studies.
