Im November 1925 veröffentlichte Ludwig Klages in der Zeitschrift Die Tat. Monatsschrift für die Zukunft deutscher Kultur einen Beitrag mit dem Titel »Über Sexus und Eros«, den er im folgenden Jahr in die zweite, erweiterte Auflage des schmalen Buches Vom kosmogonischen Eros aufnahm. Wie zukunftsweisend war dieser Aufsatz von Klages – und ist er überhaupt noch zeitgemäß? In diesem Band, der aus einer internationalen Tagung zum Thema »Eros und Sexus in der Philosophie von Ludwig Klages« hervorgeht, wird die Problematik der Eros-Sexus-Beziehung aus verschiedenen Perspektiven untersucht und beleuchtet. Unter anderem werden folgende Aspekte erörtert: Theorien der Erotik bei Klages, Bataille, Fromm und Maffesoli; Ausdruckskunde und Ausdruckstanz in der Künstlerkolonie auf dem Monte Verità; Ausdruck und Bewegung als Grundimpulse des Eros; die Rolle des Eros in Platons Symposion; die Klages-Rezeption bei Per Leo und Gerd-Klaus Kaltenbrunner; Klages’ Auffassung des Eros und dessen Konzeption im George-Kreis sowie seine Beziehung zu diversen Personen wie etwa Friedrich Huch, Franziska zu Reventlow, Martin Heidegger und Plotin. Angesichts der eifrig verfochtenen Gender-Debatten der heutigen Zeit versuchen die Autorinnen und Autoren, die »Kosmogonität« des Eros kritisch zu prüfen und für zukünftige Diskussionen zu erschließen.
Nietzsche's impact on modern literature and thought is profound, as noted by Gottfried Benn, who remarked that his generation's discussions were deeply influenced by Nietzsche's ideas. This Companion features new essays from leading Nietzsche scholars, focusing on the interconnectedness of his life and philosophy. It avoids a superficial biographical approach, instead highlighting Nietzsche's assertion that great philosophy serves as a "self-confession" of its author. Each essay delves into a significant work by Nietzsche, providing an advanced introduction for students in German Studies, philosophy, and comparative literature, as well as for general readers. The volume re-establishes the connections between Nietzsche’s philosophical writings and his biographical context, drawing attention to the evolution of his thought and the artistic construction of his identity as a philosopher. Contributors include notable scholars such as Ruth Abbey, Keith Ansell-Pearson, and Paul Bishop, who is a Professor of German at the University of Glasgow. This collection not only enriches the understanding of Nietzsche's philosophy but also serves as a valuable resource for scholars and intellectual historians interested in the nuances of his work and life.
The book offers a message of hope and empowerment through the narratives of biblical characters who face struggles similar to those of modern readers.

"The book provides an overview of related scholarly literature; discusses Nietzsche's aesthetic theory in The Birth of Tragedy; recounts the composition of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and offers an interpretation of the "aesthetic gospel" in this centeal work. A concluding chapter explores the continuities in aesthetic theory from Leucippus to Ernst Cassirer. By demonstrating the constitutive function of the aesthetics of Weimar classicism in his philosophy, this book opens up a fresh and original perspective on reading Nietzsche."--BOOK JACKET.
Exploring the intellectual and cultural backdrop of C. G. Jung's 1952 work, this commentary sheds light on the often-overlooked "Answer to Job."

The collection of papers examines diverse topics, including language, myth, and religion, all within a comparative framework, showcasing the historical and theoretical breadth of Cassirer's ideas. This approach offers a more enriching perspective on cultural continuity and interpretation.
This volume features a series of scholarly papers exploring the theme of myth as a symbolic form, highlighting its enduring relevance across cultures. Presented at the University of Glasgow's Centre for Intercultural Studies, the collection delves into various interpretations and applications of myth, examining its role in shaping cultural narratives and identities. The contributions reflect interdisciplinary perspectives, making it a valuable resource for those interested in mythology, intercultural studies, and symbolic communication.
The Anti-Christ is one of the most notorious, if not the most notorious, books by Nietzsche – and one of his most frequently misrepresented. Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, nor with Christian beliefs or doctrines, Paul Bishop carefully guides students through The Anti-Christ section by section. Bishop unpacks the difficulties that many readers face when dealing with Nietzsche’s rhetoric. And he contextualises the text within the wider contexts of Nietzsche's thought as a whole and the broader currents of contemporary 19th and 20th century thought. Student resources include a chronology of Nietzsche's life and work, a glossary of key terms, an index of names and subjects and a guide to further reading.
