Description: Figure of Faust in Valery and Goethe by Kurt Weinberg This book interprets Mon Faust and explores the differences between Valerys and Goethes treatments of the Faust figure. The author shows by close analysis how Valery opposes a Cartesian, anti-Pascalian Faust to Goethes romantically flawed hero. The title of the project conceived by Valerys Faust, The Minds Body-part autobiography, part metaphy FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book interprets Mon Faust and explores the differences between Valerys and Goethes treatments of the Faust figure. The author shows by close analysis how Valery opposes a Cartesian, anti-Pascalian Faust to Goethes romantically flawed hero. The title of the project conceived by Valerys Faust, The Minds Body-part autobiography, part metaphysical treatise-embodies the Cartesian dilemma ironically illustrated by the Mon Faust fragments: the misfortunes of the thinking essence, the cogito, in its subjugation to the body. The first three chapters examine the Cartesian character of a Faust engaged in superhuman but vain attempts to reconcile the intellect and the libido. A fourth chapter discusses the differences between Goethes and Valerys protagonists and as well between Goethe and his Faust. Throughout the book the author explores Valerys linguistic experimentation, which, through charades, paranomasia, onomastics, and etymological puns, brings into full play the mystifying and mythologizing aspects of language. To resolve the stylistic problems associated with this fragmentary work the author adapts the tone of his exegesis to the diverse stylistic levels of Mon Faust.His analysis illuminates the Cartesian potential inherent in Valerys protagonist.
