This reader makes the key writings of 19th Century French philosopher F.lix Ravaisson available in English for the first time. In recent years, Ravaisson has emerged as an extremely important and influential figure in the history of continental philosophy. The full effects of his impact upon philosophy, theology, French studies and, particularly recently art, are difficult to underestimate. Philosophers such as Dominique Janicaud and Fran.ois Laruelle, have recognised the importance and originality of Raviasson's work and written extended studies outlining his centrality to the European philosophical tradition...The F.lix Ravaisson Reader includes a glossary of key terms, a timeline of Ravaisson's life and ideas, introductions to each excerpt which contextualise the writing and an annotated bibliography of suggested reading. This book will grant scholars and students alike wider access to his distinctive contribution to the history of philosophy....The F.lix Ravaisson Reader includes a glossary of key terms, a timeline of Ravaisson's life and ideas, introductions to each excerpt which contextualise the writing and an annotated bibliography of suggested reading.This book will grant scholars and students alike wider access to his distinctive contribution to the history of philosophy.
Industry Reviews
With the publication of this volume, the availability of Ravaisson's highly original writing is vastly expanded for readers of English. In fact, some of the essays included have been scarce, little-known, or difficult to obtain even in the original French editions (i.e. expensive and fragile) ... By reintroducing Ravaisson in such a grand collection, this publication may even rekindle interest in certain lost concepts: the spirit, grace, and artistic beauty. The book may also assist in a renewed conversation among the fields of philology, art history, philosophy, and the history of religions.
