Philosophical myths of the fall
Book • 2005
Stephen Mulhall's "Philosophical Myths of the Fall" examines the concept of a primordial 'fall' in the works of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein.
It explores their perspectives on the human condition and its inherent flaws.
Mulhall analyzes Nietzsche's concept of self-imposed guilt, Heidegger's notion of inauthentic existence, and Wittgenstein's critique of language's limitations.
The book reveals how these thinkers, though secular, grapple with questions traditionally associated with theology and myth.
It illuminates the shared concerns and unique perspectives of these philosophers on human existence and its limits.
