Published in 1923, the \u003cem\u003eElegies\u003c\/em\u003e would influence important philosophers on the Continent, including Heidegger. But with a few exceptions, Rilke’s poetry has not had an impact on philosophy in the Anglo-American world. In \u003cem\u003eBeing Here Is Glorious\u003c\/em\u003e, James D. Reid offers a fresh translation of the \u003cem\u003eElegies\u003c\/em\u003e, which hews to the form of the original and provides his own meditation on the place of poetry in philosophy. Reid makes a convincing case that poetry and philosophy can address the problem of finding things significant and worth affirming in light of various reasons to doubt the value of the world in which we find ourselves cast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58355684999542,"sku":"9780810131354","price":27.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38292819.jpg?v=1785251680","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780810131354-being-here-is-glorious","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
