Ebook: Life at the Limits

From Archive.org: Part 1 of a trilogy of books celebrating human tenacity and human genius, with a diatribe against “most philosophers,” by secular humanist Princeton philosopher and Nietzsche scholar Walter Kaufmann. Each book in the trilogy contains didactic texts from the Great Books along with philosophical commentary, poems (many are Kaufmann’s own), and a great many spectacular photographs taken by Kaufmann on his journeys around the world. Most of the photographs in this volume are taken in India—some in Benares, some in Calcutta, and most in Khajuraho, known for a cluster of Hindu and Jain temples, some with astonishing erotic sculpture.
