This book charts ideas European intellectuals (mostly from Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy) put forward to solve the problem of war during the first half of the twentieth century: a period that began with the Anglo-Boer war and that ended with the explosion of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Such ideas do not belong to a homogeneous tradition of thought, but can be understood as a unique discourse that takes different characteristics according to the point of view of each author and of the specific historical situation.

    BEAUTY IN THE WESTERN CANON
    ALBERTO CASTELLI
    Dadaist works, such as Duchamp’s ready-mades, famously challenge the connection between art and the aesthetic by presenting objects of little or no aesthetic interest, such as urinals, snow shovels, and bicycles, as art. From impressionist paintings to unmade beds exhibited in galleries, this raises enduring questions: Are these objects art simply because an artist declares the...

    LOVE, DESPAIR, AND MODERNISM IN LITERATURE
    ALBERTO CASTELLI

    THE SELF ON TRIAL
    ALBERTO CASTELLI
    The Self on Trial is an inquiry into the self and its pathological behaviors. The author observes 20th-century fiction and studies it through a psychological reading. It is evident that the century has produced self-destructive characters whose behaviors and choices are an ultimate form of consummation – primitive, elementary, and inexplicable. Why cannot Prufrock ask the overw...
