Dzīvības gnostika pret prāta gribu. Sabiedrības bez pasaules kritika Ludviga Klāgesa darbos
The Gnosis of Life versus the Will of the Mind

Summary/Abstract: The ambivalently suggestive notions and themes of German philosopher Ludwig Klages (1872–1956) deserve to be translated today into a language, that brushes off the incipient connotations of the close symbiosis with metaphysics and social and political problematics, while not explaining away of the criticism-deserving consequences of such an amalgamation – a feature that had not escaped the attention of the thinker himself. This type of “translation for the present time” (M. Großheim) is still only in a nascent stage, even if it has been going on for several decades. This work is attested both by the new projects of reinterpretation of Klages’ philosophy, as well as by a kind of pause with regard to the accessibility of his archives for more extensive investigation and citation.
