Philosophical Essays: A Critical Edition

Philosophical Essays: A Critical Edition
- Used Book in Good Condition
Fernando Pessoa claimed to be inhabited by â€œthousands of philosophies,â€ all of which he intended to develop in his unfinished project of English-language Philosophical Essays. The resulting fragments were never published by Pessoa himself and almost the entirety of them are presented in this edition for the very first time in history. This volume exhibits Pessoaâ€™s musings and wild insights on the history of philosophy, the failures of subjectivity, and the structure of the universe to reveal an unexpectedly scholarly, facetious, and vigorous theoretical mind. Written under the pre-heteronyms of Charles Robert Anon and Alexander Search, these texts constitute the foundation for the fabrication of Pessoaâ€™s future heteronyms. They are the testimony of a writer who referred to himself as a â€œpoet animated by philosophy.â€ Through editor Nuno Ribeiroâ€™s careful critical efforts, a new and fundamental facet of the work of one of modernityâ€™s most seminal geniuses has now been brought to light in a remarkably reliable and clear fashion.
