Inhaltsangabe

Argues that Austrian lyric poet Hofmannsthal (1874-1929), usually considered a typical fin-de-siFcle aesthete, was an early and consistent opponent of aestheticism, and was, in fact, an heir of Nietzsche in his search for a legitimate source for values. Also argues that poets describe life better than philosophers do. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
