Alienation of Mod Man - Fritz Pappenheim - Paperback

This intriguing work deals with the plight of the alienated individual, estranged from humanity and the surrounding world. It examines such questions as: Why do writers like Kafka, Thomas Wolfe, Rilke, and the existential philosophers, who portray the individual as a stranger in the world, have such a strong appeal? Is estrangement limited to individual cases or has it become a universal fate? Is alienation a consequence of the triumph of the machine? Is it characteristic of the human condition, or is it a specific development of modern society? Should humanity resign itself to alienation, or can it be overcome, conquered?Pappenheim, Fritz is the author of 'Alienation of Mod Man - Fritz Pappenheim - Paperback' with ISBN 9780853450054 and ISBN 0853450056.
