Bemerkung:

Gutes Exemplar; der illustr. Einband stw. gering berieben. - Englisch. - Aus der Arbeitsbibliothek von Günter Abel, emer. Professor für Philosophie an der TU Berlin. -- Erstes Blatt mit WIDMUNG von Graham Parkes an Prof. Günter Abel und SIGNIERT. - Composing the Soul is the first book to pay sustained attention to Nietzsche as a psychologist and to examine the contours of his psychology in the context of his life and many-sided personality. Graham Parkes traces the influence on Nietzsche of such figures as Plato, Emerson, and Wagner, Charts the complex imagery he uses to elaborate his psychological ideas, and analyzes Nietzsche's revolutionary conception of the soul as composed of a plurality of "drives" or "persons"-such that multiple personality need not mean disorder. "Seele, the German word we translate as both 'soul' and 'psyche,' was at the center of Nietzsche's brilliant ruminations on the construction and deconstruction of the self. Trenchantly analyzing the polyphonic structure and dissonant harmonies of Nietzsche's 'soul music,' Graham Parkes provides a strikingly new account of the greatest psychologist before Freud." - Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley ?
