Enthusiasm and Divine Madness
On the Platonic Dialogue Phaedrus
Pieper, Josef
The main thesis – that in poetry and in love man is “beside himself,” i.e., divinely inspired – is discussed with reference to modern poets, novelists, and modern psychology.
“Pieper’s . . . book . . . is in every way beautiful: in format, in translation, in subject . . . in its philosophic grace.” – Christian Century
“Essential in philosophy sections of larger public, academic and special libraries.” – Library Journal
