Into the Open: Reflections on Genius: Reflections on Genius and Modernity

by Benjamin Taylor (Author)

Synopsis

Invoking Nietzsche's drastic critique of genius, this book assesses the less programmatic and more anxious cases of Pater, Valery and Freud on the role of Leonardo da Vinci. Whereas Nietzsche sought for and found an escape from romantic humanism, the others could not relinquish the idea of genius.
