He wrote and published works of philosophy, novels, parodies and satirical so-called grotesque tales, which he wrote under the pseudonym \"Mynona\"--the German word for anonymous, \u003ci\u003eanonym\u003c\/i\u003e, spelled backwards. Currently being rediscovered in his native language, F\/M and his work are still generally unknown, and none of his philosophical texts have been translated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender\/Mynona: Twentieth-Century Performance Philosopher\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive English book introducing F\/M's philosophical works. The volume includes three introductory framing chapters of historical context, contemporary relevance and pertinence to the performance philosophy of F\/M. The book also contains original translations of select passages from his most significant philosophical texts: \u003ci\u003eSch?pferische Indifferenz\/Creative Indifference\u003c\/i\u003e, (first published in 1918), the later \u003ci\u003eDas magische Ich\/The Magic I\u003c\/i\u003e (1935) and his very last essay \u003ci\u003eIdeenmagie\/Idea Magic\u003c\/i\u003e (1945\/46), as well as translations of select correspondence with well-known cultural personalities of the time.\u003cp\u003eRecognised as having inspired Walter Benjamin, F\/M was also a forerunner of both performance philosophy and gender theory, and a major influence in the development of Gestalt therapy. Furthermore, not only did F\/M belong to the first generation of avid Nietzsche readers, but he was also a lifelong tireless interpreter of Immanuel Kant and Schopenhauer. F\/M's extraordinary voice is of significant interest to Nietzsche and Kant Studies and sheds light on their respective relevance for a performance-oriented approach to philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Lagaay, Salomo Friedlaender\/Mynona\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538146134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538146132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Alice Lagaay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46618094567679,"sku":"9781538146132","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38c1b9aa-f312-44f2-af18-e72e3e414d76.jpg?v=1740069148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-critical-introduction-to-salomo-alice-lagaay-9781538146132","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
