Description
"An astonishingly erudite, impressive work of scholarship. It is partly a genealogy of Bloch's notion of darkness and partly its further elaboration: a symphonic creation that slowly unfolds through careful, close readings of no less than a dozen major figures."-Ryan Coyne, University of Chicago "The Darkness of the Lived Moment constitutes the best possible marriage of philosophy and philology. Remarkably well-written in an elegant, philosophical prose."-Agata Bielik-Robson, University of Nottingham
