Humankind has a profound and complex relationship with the sea, a
relationship that is extensively reflected in biology, psychology,
religion, literature and poetry. The sea cradles and soothes us, we
visit it often for solace and inspiration, it is familiar, being
the place where life ultimately began. Yet the sea is also dark and
mysterious and often spells catastrophe and death. The sea is a set
of contradictions: kind, cruel, indifferent. She is a blind will
that will 'have her way'. In exploring this most capricious of
phenomena, David Farrell Krell engages the work of an array of
thinkers and writers including, but not limited to, Homer, Thales,
Anaximander, Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, Hoelderlin, Melville,
Woolf, Whitman, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schelling, Ferenczi, Rank and
Freud. The Sea explores the significance in Western civilization of
the catastrophic and generative power of the sea and what
humankind's complex relationship with it reveals about the human
condition, human consciousness, temporality, striving, anxiety,
happiness and mortality.
