This reader makes the key essays of 19th century French philosopher
Felix Ravaisson available in English for the first time. In recent
years, Ravaisson has emerged as an extremely important and
influential figure in the history of modern European philosophy.
The volume contains the classic 1838 dissertation Of Habit, studies
of Pascal, Stoicism and the wider history of philosophy together
with the Philosophical Testament that he left unfinished when he
died in 1900. The volume also features Ravaisson's work in
archaeology, the history of religions and art-theory, and his essay
on the Venus de Milo, which occupied him over a period of twenty
years after he noticed, when hiding the statue behind a false wall
in a dingy Parisian basement during the Franco-Prussian war, that
it had previously been presented in a way that deformed its
original bearing and meaning. Felix Ravaisson: Selected Essays
contains an introductory intellectual biography of Ravaisson, which
contextualises each of the essays in the volume. It also features
an annotated bibliography of suggested further reading. This book
will grant scholars and students alike wider access to his
distinctive contribution to the history of philosophy.
