Life-philosophy, central to nineteenth-century philosophical
thought, is concerned with the meaning, value and purpose of life.
This much-needed study returns to the central philosophical
questions of "Lebensphilosophie" and reveals the ascendency of
'life' in contemporary philosophical thinking. Scholars from the
disciplines of political theory, aesthetics, bioethics and ontology
examine how the notion of life has made its way into contemporary
philosophical discussions. They explore three main themes: the
shift toward biological and technological views of life; the
political implications of our conceptions of life; and the
re-emergence of the idea of life in recent philosophical
discussions about, for example, care of the self, scepticism,
tragedy, desire, the emotions, and history. Anticipating new
directions of philosophical thinking, this study restores a vital
school of thought to crucial considerations about the dangers of
contemporary politics and the threat of new technologies.
