The Ascetic Ideal

Genealogies of Life-Denial in Religion, Morality, Art, Science, and Philosophy

Beschreibung

Stephen Mulhall traces the development of an ideal of asceticism through Western culture. He shows how influential this self-denying attitude to life has been not just in religion and morality but in aesthetics, science, and philosophy. And he illuminates the role of the ascetic ideal in the thought of Nietzsche, who introduced the concept.
