Papers by Thomas B White
The two interpretations of Nietzsche considered are Trotsky's Marxist view and a more existential, humanistic understanding.
Using insights from a wide range of philosophers, writers, theologians, historians, and artists, such as Kafka, W.B. Yeats, Sissela Bok, Plato, Chris Hedges, Edvard Munch, Dante, Alberto Moravia, and Karl Marx, this essay explores forms of reverential sensibility. As reverence can be both a virtue, as well as a vice, Mr. White delineates both by profiling the enlightened and deformed versions. This investigation takes the reader into an examination of aspects of contemporary culture, as manifestations of deformed reverence (irreverence), as well as proposes a way forward toward a genuine reverence whereby both the religious and secular mind may find common ground in, what White calls, “the shared communion of the deed.”
