Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Concise, fresh, and energetic, this kind of book can only be written by someone like Bernard Freydberg who displays deep perspective and mastery of the material, thinks quickly and efficiently, and writes with great clarity and wit." -Jason M. Wirth, author of Schelling's Practice of the Wild "Bernard Freydberg's purpose is to rewrite the history of modern philosophy focusing on the various ways each thinker is given to think in relation to darkness or the abyss. These dark sources throb beneath the surface of the contemporary Continental tradition." -Robert D. Metcalf
