Catastrophe and Philosophy
David J. Rosner (ed.)
Lanham, Maryland: Lexington Books (2018)
Abstract
This book investigates how a number of influential philosophies arose out of catastrophes, such as wars, plagues, and earthquakes. Central to the project is an explanation of how these catastrophes led to the questioning of basic assumptions and the introduction of new ideas to make sense out of a chaotic and often unintelligible world.Author's Profile
