Metamathematisches Genie
The World as It Goes is a scandalous comedy by Hannah Cowley that has remained unpublished despite growing scholarly interest. This edition includes an introduction that offers valuable insights into the cultural, theatrical, historical, and biographical contexts surrounding the work, along with contemporaneous reviews that enhance the reader's understanding of its significance.
Essays on the Modern Identity selectively represents the developing understanding of the modern self from the time of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) to the present. This volume contextualizes the late-twentieth-century crisis of the self by exploring the relationships between modern and postmodern conceptions of the human identity. Featuring exemplary analyses of selected texts, paintings, and prints, this collection of essays is offered as a contribution to the ongoing, necessarily interdisciplinary discussion of the place of modern identity in a postmodern world.
