{"product_id":"the-genius-decision-klaus-ottmann-9780882145921","title":"The Genius Decision: The Extraordinary and the Postmodern Condition, Second, Revised and Expanded Edition","description":"THE GENIUS DECISION is not an attempt at explaining or predicting genius. Nor is its goal to construct a concept or the concept of genius. Rather, the following should be considered as a horizon of conceptual events that constitute an philosophy of desire within the ethical-aesthetical writings of seven of Western philosophy's most influential thinkers: Spinoza, Schelling, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Peirce, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger. This postmodern reevaluation of genius suggests that while there is no essentialist quality of genius, the postmodern artist can reach the Extraordinary by way of an active-passive Genius Decision, which is engaged in an activity of failure in its desire to represent the Nonrepresentable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Klaus Ottmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0882145924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780882145921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Klaus Ottmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096782643455,"sku":"9780882145921","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-genius-decision-klaus-ottmann-9780882145921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
