Book Description
A philosophical exploration of the power that poetry, music, and the erotic have on us.
Why did Nietzsche claim to have "written in blood"? Why did Heidegger remain silent after World War II about his participation in the Nazi Party? How did Hölderlin's voice and the voices of other, more ancient poets come to echo in philosophy? Words in Blood, Like Flowers is a classical expression of continental philosophy that critically engages the intersection of poetry, art, music, politics, and the erotic in an exploration of the power they have over us. While focusing on three key figures--Hölderlin, Nietzsche, and Heidegger--this volume covers a wide range of material, from the Ancient Greeks to the vicissitudes of the politics of our times, and approaches these and other questions within their hermeneutic and historical contexts.
Working from primary texts and a wide range of scholarly sources in French, German, and English, this book is an important contribution to philosophy's most ancient quarrels not only with poetry, but also with music and erotic love.
Review
"Babich's scholarship is exceptionally wide-ranging; she is among the foremost Nietzsche scholars; her arguments are provocative; and her style is fluent and elegant." -- Véronique M. Fóti, author of Epochal Discordance: Hölderlin's Philosophy of Tragedy
"This is a work of great scholarship and philosophical sensitivity that draws impressively on German literature and thought. This is by no means an antiquarian book, but one that is fully engaged with contemporary issues in which these figures are important, issues ranging from philosophical complicity in tyranny to the hermeneutics of architecture to the notion of the real in Nietzsche and Lacan." -- Gary Shapiro, author of Alcyone: Nietzsche on Gifts, Noise, and Women
