Two interpretations in particular were to provide major reference points for French writers in the 1920s and 1930s: the Surrealist 'free functioning of thought', and the existential critique of rational discourse elaborated by Leon Chestov(1866-1938) and Benjamine Fondane(1898-1944). In this highly original study, Fotiade examines the less familiar existential line, and shows that Chestov and Fondane's project found both support and illustration in the force-field of the Surrealist movement. the work of such dissident writers as Antonin Artuad, Roger Gilbert-Lecomte and Rene Daumal takes on wider intellectual context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ramona Fotiade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1900755475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781900755474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.64w x 0.78d","brand":"Ramona Fotiade","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175472705791,"sku":"9781900755474","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conceptions-of-the-absurd-ramona-fotiade-9781900755474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
