For distinguished philosopher Hans Blumenberg, lions were a
life-long obsession. Lions, translated by Kari Driscoll, collects
thirty-two of Blumenberg's philosophical vignettes to reveal that
the figure of the lion unites two of his other great
preoccupations: metaphors and anecdotes as non-philosophical forms
of knowledge. Each of these short texts, sparkling with erudition
and humor, is devoted to a peculiar leonine presence or, in many
cases, absence in literature, art, philosophy, religion, and
politics. From Ecclesiastes to the New Testament Apocrypha, Durer
to Henri Rousseau, Aesop and La Fontaine to Rilke and Thomas Mann,
the extraordinary breadth of Blumenberg's knowledge and
intellectual curiosity is on full display. Lions has much to offer
readers, both those already familiar with Blumenberg's oeuvre and
newcomers looking for an introduction to the thought of one of
Germany's most important postwar philosophers.
