Cruelty: The History of Violence in Culture and the Fate of Humanity
9.99 €
Man is a "cruel animal." This radical thesis is the starting point of a discursive history of cruelty. Cultural scholar Wolfgang Müller-Funk identifies cruelty as part of the civilizational process and offers his perspective on this heartbreaking aspect of human evolution that escapes conventional descriptions.In his twelve-chapter history of Robert Musil and Ernst Jünger, Seneca and Friedrich Nietzsche, Elias Canetti and Marquis de Sade, Jean Amery and Mario Llosa, Sigmund Freud and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Ismail Kadar and Arthur Koestler, Wolfgang Müller-Funk tells the cautionary tale of cruelty and offers a philosophical way to resist its temptations.
