In this probing new study, David Luft recovers the work of three such writers: Otto Weininger, Robert Musil, and Heimito von Doderer. His account emphasizes the distinctive intellectual world of liberal Vienna, especially the impact of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche in this highly scientific intellectual world. According to Luft, Otto Weininger viewed human beings as bisexual and applied this theme to issues of creativity and morality. Robert Musil developed a creative ethics that was closely related to his open, flexible view of sexuality and gender. And Heimito von Doderer portrayed his own sexual obsessions as a way of understanding the power of total ideologies, including his own attraction to National Socialism. For Luft, the significance of these three writers lies in their understandings of eros and inwardness and in the roles that both play in ethical experience and the formation of meaningful relations to the world-a process that continues to engage artists, writers, and thinkers today. Eros and Inwardness in Vienna will profoundly reshape our understanding of Vienna's intellectual history. It will be important for anyone interested in Austrian or German history, literature, or philosophy. 606 $aAustrian literature$zAustria$zVienna$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zAustria$zVienna 606 $aNational socialism$zAustria$zVienna 607 $aVienna (Austria)$xIntellectual life 607 $aVienna (Austria)$xSocial life and customs 610 $avienna, sexuality, gender, 20th century, freud, heimito von doderer, robert musil, otto weininger, nietzsche, schopenhauer, bisexuality, creativity, morality, ethics, flexibility, obsession, kink, desire, passion, control, self-control, ideology, nazi, fascism, submission, totalitarianism, eros, individual, agency, isolation, history, literature, philosophy, irrationalism, scientific materialism, character, national socialism, novel, nonfiction, apperception, soul, modernity, liberalism. 615 0$aAustrian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature 615 0$aNational socialism 676 $a306/.09436/13 700 $aLuft$b David S$01639731 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816014203321 996 $aEros and inwardness in Vienna$93982878 997 $aUNINA
