Methodologically, the book exemplifies Emersonian postmodernism by defying traditional philosophical metanarratives about the difference between high and low culture or serious and ridiculous subjects, and Emerson with what would seem to be his opposite. This is itself a postmodern gesture, breaking rules of genre and topic to make unlikely but interesting connections. Above all, this book proves that in this time of social division and widespread despair, Emerson canhelp. | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | 关键词 | Ralph Waldo Emerson; Postmodernism; American Philosophy; History of Philosophy; Contemporary Philosophy | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-32546-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-32548-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-32546-5 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
