Description :
In this stimulating and still-timely study, Josef Pieper takes up a theme of
paramount importance to his thinking 8211 that festivals belong by rights
among the great topics of philosophical discussion. As he develops his theory
of festivity, the modern age comes under close and painful scrutiny. It is
obvious that we no longer know what festivity is, namely, the celebration of
existence under various symbolsPieper exposes the pseudo-festivals, in their
harmless and their sinister forms: traditional feasts contaminated by
commercialism artificial holidays created in the interest of merchandisers
holidays by coercion, decreed by dictators the world over festivals as military
demonstrations holidays empty of significance. And lastly we are given the
apocalyptic vision of a nihilistic world which would seek its release not in
festivities but in destruction.Formulated with Pieper's customary clarity and
elegance, enhanced by brilliantly chosen quotations, this is an illuminating
contribution to the understanding of traditional and contemporary experience.
