Richard Rojcewicz

Heidegger, Plato, Philosophy, Death

An Atmosphere of Mortality

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Richard Rojcewicz argues that Heidegger and Plato see the same connection between philosophy and death: philosophizing is dying in the sense of separating oneself from the prison constituted by superficiality and hearsay. Rojcewicz relates this understanding of philosophy to signs, anxiety, conscience, music, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
