Omschrijving
The leading German philosopher with a study of the thought of Karl Marx
exhilarating to read. resonant with urgency, recalling the sonorous, aphoristic qualities of Nietzsche or Schopenhauer, in whose tradition he follows. 'Thought provoking' hardly begins to cover it.
a coherent, lucid writer, although the intensity still fairly burns off the page. [a] heady, dizzying book.
Ernst Bloch's 'Principle of Hope' is a masterwork
Ernst Bloch (1885-1977) is one of the most important German Marxist thinkers of the 20th century and one of the great theorists of utopia. A friend of Walter Benjamin, Bertolt Brecht and Theodor Adorno, his works include The Principle of Hope, Spirit of Utopia and Traces.
