Andreas Brunneis

In over 600 aphorisms, essays, parables, and dialogues, the author attempts to engage the long tradition of modern literary philosophy. Though richly represented by a host of notable figures—from Renaissance humanists to Enlightenment philosophes, transcendentalists to existentialists—this tradition has fallen into abeyance since the mid-twentieth century. It is hoped that this book will play a small role in helping to reinvigorate the genre.
