Although a great deal has been written concerning every
important aspect of the Civil War itself, with a few notable
exceptions little attention has been given to the personal lives of
the 961 generals who commanded the Union and Confederate armies.
This book offers a wealth of comparative biographical data on these
men in a convenient form that will serve the purposes of both
academic researchers and Civil War buffs.
First published in German in 1940 and widely recognized as a
classic of philosophical anthropology, Laughing and Crying is a
detailed investigation of these two particularly significant types
of expressive behavior, both in themselves and in relation to human
nature. Elaborating the philosophical account of human life he
developed in Levels of Organic Life and the Human: An Introduction
to Philosophical Anthropology, Plessner suggests that laughing and
crying are expressions of a crisis brought about in certain
situations by the relation of a person to their body. With a new
foreword by J. M. Bernstein that situates the book within the
broader framework of Plessner's philosophical anthropology and his
richly suggestive and powerful account of human bodily life,
Laughing and Crying is essential reading for anyone interested in
the philosophy of the body, emotions, and human behavior.
