A bilingual edition of an essay by the actor, author and theatre director, Ilias Kounelas. The essay, published originally in Greek and translated here by N.N. Trakakis, is a brilliant evocation of the poetic sensibility of one of modern Greece's finest writers, Tasos Leivaditis. This limited run edition includes Kounelas' text interspersed with images and aphorisms, many of which have been contributed by the New York-based musical duo 'R. Missing'.

On the morning of April 21, 1967, the people of Athens, Tasos Leivaditis among them, woke up to find that control of their country had been seized by a group of colonels, instituting what would turn out to be a seven-year-long military dictatorship. Following the brutal suppression of the mass uprising at the Athens Polytechnic in November 1973, Leivaditis published this book in February 1974, now translated for the first time in full in English. Employing the prose-poetry format that was to become his signature style, Leivaditis gives powerful voice to the sense of defeat and disillusion experienced by those whose hopes were being crushed by tanks and bullets: "Home and honour we had no more. / The women as always cried, and as always the men / looked down at the ground. And only the blind man smiled / as his cane, wise as it is, led him beyond futility / and into the darkness".

This is the first English translation of Tasos Leivaditis' short story collection, published originally in Greek in 1966. The book features nine stories, with an unnamed protagonist in each who seeks meaning and connection, or even a small friendly gesture, only to be met with indifference and humiliation, precipitating his downward self-destructive spiral.

An investigation into the current condition of, and future prospects for, the field of the philosophy of religion. Modelled on the style and framework of Walter Benjamin's 1940 essay, "Theses on the Philosophy of History", Trakakis' book seeks to retrieve the creative and adventurous nature of philosophical inquiry.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Collected here are the three poetry books with which one of Greece's finest writers, Tasos Leivaditis, made his literary debut in 1952-53. Greece was at this time emerging out of the devastating destruction of World War II and the subsequent civil war (1946-49). Leivaditis, on the side of the defeated leftists in the civil conflict, paid for his political affiliation by being exiled to concentration camps on various islands for more than three years. Upon his release in 1951, he was to publish in quick succession three remarkable volumes of poetry which draw upon his experiences of violence and persecution, but which are framed by a broader commitment to justice and freedom, love and peace. The three books were immediate successes, and continue to be widely read and discussed in Greece today. Now, for the first time, they are made available to an English-reading audience, who are sure to find in the depth and intensity of Leivaditis' verses a compelling witness not only to past terrors and tragedies but also to the irrepressible desire to vindicate life and love, because "this star is for all of us.".

Paperback. Condizione: New. A century ago the dominant philosophical outlook was not some form of materialism or naturalism, but idealism. However, this way of thinking about reality fell out of favour in the Anglo-American analytic tradition as well as the Continental schools of the twentieth century.The aim of this book is to restage and reassess the encounter between idealism and contemporary philosophy. The idealist side will be represented by the great figures of the 19th-century post-Kantian tradition in Germany, from Fichte and Schelling to Hegel, followed by the towering Hegelians in Britain led by T. H. Green, F. H. Bradley and Bernard Bosanquet. Their twentieth-century adversaries will be represented by the secular existentialists, especially the famous French trio of Sartre, Beauvoir and Camus, who sought to follow Nietzsche in philosophizing in light of the death of God. And the arena of encounter will be the philosophy of religion-more specifically, questions relating to the nature and existence of God, death and the meaning of life, and the problem of evil. The book argues that the existentialist critique of idealism enables an innovative as well as a more critical and adventurous approach that is sorely needed in philosophy of religion today.Idealism after Existentialism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in the history of ninteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy and philosophy of religion.
