This book charts ideas European intellectuals (mostly from Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy) put forward to solve the problem of war during the first half of the twentieth century: a period that began with the Anglo-Boer war and that ended with the explosion of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Such ideas do not belong to a homogeneous tradition of thought, but can be understood as a unique discourse that takes different characteristics according to the point of view of each author and of the specific historical situation.

This volume offers a philosophical and literary exploration of Dostoevsky's humanism, with a particular focus on his ethical and aesthetic reflections on human nature. Rather than approaching Dostoevsky through the lens of national character or the so-called Russian spirit, this book engages in a sustained dialogue with his work to illuminate the moral and psychological complexities of the human soul. Emphasizing the intimate and often unsettling terrain of interior life, the author contends that Dostoevsky's literature invites readers to confront their own beliefs, values, and existential commitments. Structured as a series of interlinked essays, the book reads selected Dostoevskian texts through a comparative framework, acknowledging both the richness of his literary output and the vast body of critical commentary surrounding it. The approach is intentionally conversational rather than conclusive, welcoming ambiguity, contradiction, and unresolved tensions. In this spirit, the volume traces Dostoevsky's pursuit of the sublime-where darkness and beauty coexist in the restless drama of human consciousness.

This groundbreaking monograph offers readers a profound exploration of nineteenth-century literature. Rather than presenting these works as a mere succession of literary movements, the author weaves romanticism, realism, gothic, and decadence into a coherent tapestry united by a singular focus: the enigmatic nature of human decision-making. The text delves beyond plot mechanics to examine the psychological underpinnings of iconic characters like Anna Karenina, Isabel Archer, and Raskolnikov. Through meticulous analysis, it addresses fundamental questions that continue to resonate: Why do people act against their own interests? Why do we harm those we love? What drives human desire, and how does it sometimes lead to destruction? This volume deliberately shifts focus from the traditional emphasis on societal dynamics and urban development to concentrate on the obsessions of the human soul. The text approaches each literary work as a monument containing secrets, offering readers a fresh interpretive framework that balances narrative events with their deeper significance. This will be essential reading for scholars of nineteenth-century literature, psychoanalytic criticism, and anyone fascinated by the dark complexities of human motivation that transcend historical context and continue to define the human condition.

This groundbreaking volume challenges conventional scholarship by illuminating a critical blind spot in modernist studies: the persistent yet transformed presence of love. While academia has exhaustively examined modernism through lenses of nihilism, disillusionment, and existential silence, the romantic impulse threading through these seemingly barren landscapes remains largely unexamined. How do characters love within the fractured architecture of modernist narratives? What becomes of romance when filtered through consciousness shaped by catastrophe? This collection reveals the sophisticated love story hidden within modernism's formal innovations - a romance that neither escapes nor succumbs to the movement's characteristic darkness, but rather transforms alongside it. By excavating this neglected dimension, we discover that modernist love does not vanish but evolves - becoming as complex, ambiguous, and revolutionary as the literary movement itself. The volume offers a fresh critical perspective that recontextualizes canonical works and invites readers to witness how intimacy persists, even as it whispers from the margins of a universe presumed silent. For scholars and students seeking to understand modernism's full emotional landscape, this text provides the missing piece in our comprehension of one of literature's most influential movements.

The Self on Trial is an inquiry into the self and its pathological behaviors. The author observes 20th-century fiction and studies it through a psychological reading. It is evident that the century has produced self-destructive characters whose behaviors and choices are an ultimate form of consummation - primitive, elementary, and inexplicable. Why cannot Prufrock ask the overwhelming question? What is the reason for Humbert's sexual attraction to Lolita? Why do we destroy what we love the most? The author reveals, through literary representations, aberrations of the ego that come into existence when already existing psychological dispositions meet a specific social habitat.An important contribution, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of comparative literature, world literature, philosophy, psychology, poetry, and modern fiction. It will appeal to those who try to understand the nature of one's inexplicability.

Dadaist works, such as Duchamp's ready-mades, famously challenge the connection between art and the aesthetic by presenting objects of little or no aesthetic interest, such as urinals, snow shovels, and bicycles, as art. From impressionist paintings to unmade beds exhibited in galleries, this raises enduring questions: Are these objects art simply because an artist declares them so, or because they are placed in a gallery? Or is there something more fundamental that defines art? Why do some objects, installations, buildings, or essays qualify as art, while others do not? Tracing the evolution of the concept of art from the ancient Greek notion of tekhne, meaning craft, technique, or skill, this monograph explores the theoretical and technical dimensions that underpin artistic creation. It interrogates whether art must serve a function, whether it exists for its own sake, or whether it reflects life or even compels life to imitate art. At its core, this book examines the notion of beauty in Western thought, from its divine origins to its contemporary crisis. In an age of digital and virtual realities, has beauty lost its relevance? Do today's artists still engage with beauty, or has it been displaced by other concerns? Organized around these pressing questions, this work offers a critical exploration of beauty's place in the condition of contemporaneity.

This book examines the crisis of identity in contemporary culture through a literary and philosophical lens, arguing that the postmodern celebration of multiple identities and hybridity has created a condition fundamentally incompatible with humanity's need for meaning. The author explores concepts of authenticity, bad faith, psychological doubling, and solitude not merely as postmodern phenomena but as enduring cultural conditions shaped by historical and structural forces. Each chapter addresses fundamental questions about selfhood, language, and the human capacity for meaning-making in an age dominated by signs, images, and surface-level engagement. Human sciences are responsible.The book is essential reading for scholars and postgraduate students in comparative literature, literary theory, philosophy, cultural studies, and sociology. It will also appeal to readers interested in identity studies and the cultural dynamics of contemporaneity. Conceived with both theoretical depth and accessible analysis, this text is an indispensable reading for all those concerned with the postmodern condition.
