{"product_id":"critical-introduction-to-salomo-friedlaender-mynona","title":"Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender\/Mynona","description":"\u003cp\u003eSalomo Friedlaender\/Mynona (1871–1946) was a prominent, eccentric and influential figure in late Imperial Germany, Expressionism, Dadaism, and the Weimar Republic. He wrote and published works of philosophy, novels, parodies and satirical so-called grotesque tales, which he wrote under the pseudonym “Mynona”—the German word for anonymous, \u003ci\u003eanonym\u003c\/i\u003e, spelled backwards. Currently being rediscovered in his native language, F\/M and his work are still generally unknown, and none of his philosophical texts have been translated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender\/Mynona: Twentieth-Century Performance Philosopher\u003c\/i\u003e is the first English book introducing F\/M’s philosophical works. The volume includes three introductory framing chapters of historical context, contemporary relevance and pertinence to the performance philosophy of F\/M. The book also contains original translations of select passages from his most significant philosophical texts: \u003ci\u003eSchöpferische Indifferenz\/Creative Indifference\u003c\/i\u003e, (first published in 1918), the later \u003ci\u003eDas magische Ich\/The Magic I\u003c\/i\u003e (1935) and his very last essay \u003ci\u003eIdeenmagie\/Idea Magic\u003c\/i\u003e (1945\/46), as well as translations of select correspondence with well-known cultural personalities of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecognised as having inspired Walter Benjamin, F\/M was also a forerunner of both performance philosophy and gender theory, and a major influence in the development of Gestalt therapy. Furthermore, not only did F\/M belong to the first generation of avid Nietzsche readers, but he was also a lifelong tireless interpreter of Immanuel Kant and Schopenhauer. F\/M’s extraordinary voice is of significant interest to Nietzsche and Kant Studies and sheds light on their respective relevance for a performance-oriented approach to philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259677954392,"sku":"9781538146132","price":116.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781538146132.jpg?v=1767450640","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/critical-introduction-to-salomo-friedlaender-mynona","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
