Jean-Michel Rabate uses Nietzsche's image of a "pathos of
distance," the notion that values are created by a few gifted and
lofty individuals, as the basis for a wide-ranging investigation
into the ethics of the moderns. Revealing overlooked connections
between Nietzsche's and Benjamin's ideas of history and ethics,
Rabate provides an original genealogy for modernist thought, moving
through figures and moments as varied as Yeats and the birth of
Irish Modernism, the ethics of courage in Virginia Woolf, Rilke,
Apollinaire, and others in 1910, T. S. Eliot's post-war despair,
Jean Cocteau's formidable selfmythology in his first film The Blood
of a Poet, Siri Hustvedt's novel of American trauma, and J. M.
Coetzee's dystopia portraying an affectless future haunted by a
messianic promise.
