| Abstract | "A stunning exploration of ambition that brings together literary, philosophical, psychological, and sociological perspectives on this most human of passions. Drawing on a long and varied tradition of writing on this topic, from authors and thinkers that range from Hesiod to Kafka and from Shakespeare to Freud, and from a history that moves from ancient Greece and Rome via Italian Renaissance to modernity, Eckart Goebel explores our driving passion for recognition-an insatiable hunter in the mirror-and power"-- Provided by publisher. |
