The book contains extensive examination and new interpretations of the oft-neglected theoretical writing of Surrealists such as Louis Aragon, Antonin Artaud, Andr� Breton, and Salvador Dal�, in order to demonstrate how Surrealism embodied a sensibility connected to a broader lineage of philosophical pessimism-involving such figures as Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Arthur Rimbaud-which Kadri argues represents a particular strain of modernism aimed at breaking human thought away from the constraint of various forms of idealism, expanding the possibilities for knowledge and human freedom. This innovative, wide-ranging study deftly traverses fields of art, politics, philosophy, psychology, and literature. Reimagining Life redefines Surrealism's place in modern intellectual history and offers a new vision of how Surrealist discourse can be connected to contemporary debates in cultural, critical, and theoretical studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fairleigh Dickinson University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47780805542039,"sku":"9781611470123","price":11478.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781611470123.webp?v=1778048442","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reimagining-life-philosophical-pessimism-and-the-revolution-of-surrealism-9781611470123","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
