| Summary |
"Although boredom appears to be a perennial feature of the human condition, it is linked to ways of experiencing time and thinking about human existence that are recognizably modern. By tracing the emergence and evolution of the modern discourse on boredom in French and German literary, philosophical, and sociological texts, "Experience Without Qualities" makes a contribution to the intellectual and cultural history of European modernity."--Jacket. |
