Holderlin, and Trakl in relation to philosophy, and in particular to Heidegger.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs the age of poets past, or are we just on the verge of its coming in a farewell to poetry? When Rimbaud claims: \"One must be absolutely modern!\" what does he ask for? Is modernity really already finished, before it has even fully arrived?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Is this the paradox of our present time? What if, as Mallarme said, a present does not exist?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Is there any place for what Heidegger called \"building, dwelling, thinking?\" Why did Heidegger himself in the end need an ultimate God, after the failure of his political expectations?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e To keep questioning is already a way of responding. Perhaps the traditional philosophical gesture is not sufficient. If language, culture, and the history of the West have come to the point of no return as shown by Auschwitz, everything has to be rethought-- without a \"turn\" or a return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Froment-Meurice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 079142524X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791425244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.02w x 0.64d","brand":"Marc Froment-Meurice","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096722940159,"sku":"9780791425244","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solitudes-marc-froment-meurice-9780791425244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
