Список книг автора Thomas TaylorDas Vollkommene Leben. Ein hermeneutischer– amerikanischer Gesellschaftskrimi für Germanisten.
Der wahre Standort der Philosophie besteht nicht in der Begründung, wohl aber in der Entgründung. Besagte Begründung erfolgt durch den Versuch, das Denken durch den Gegenstand des Denkens zu ersetzen, wobei zweierlei herbeigeführt wird: Die erhabene Unergründlichkeit des Denkens wird übersehen oder verdrängt; zweitens wird obendrein dem jeweiligen Denkgegenstand ein inhalt- und sinnstiftender, daseinsbestimmender ästhetischer Inhalt beigefügt bzw. angedichtet. Dieser Vorgang, in einen gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhang gesetzt, führt letztendlich zu einer ungezügelten, sprich zerstörerischen Erhabenheitsvorstellung. Das Vorliegende handelt eben von den Folgen, die eintreten, wenn das Denken vermeintlich abdenkt, abdankt.
The Hymns of Orpheus
The Hymns of Orpheus Thomas Taylor – The Orphic Hymns are a set of pre-classical poetic compositions, attributed to the culture hero Orpheus, himself the subject of a renowned myth. In reality, these poems were probably composed by several different poets. Reminiscent of the Rig-Veda, the Orphic Hymns contain a rich set of clues about prehistoric European mythology. This translation by Thomas Taylor, a British neo-Platonist classicist, is of additional interest for its introduction and extensive footnotes, which discuss in great detail Taylors' philosophy.
