  • The Iconic Imagination

    de Professor Douglas Hedley ...

    Edición de Dr Brian Pines, Professor Douglas Burnham ...
    Series series Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism
    Friedrich Nietzsche believed his own work represented the dawning of a new historical era, and, despite the fact that he lived most of his sane life suffering in obscurity, it is not an exaggeration to say that his vision helped lay the foundations for modernism in style, substance and attitude.
