An accidental glance at a newspaper notice causes Rousseau to collapse under the force of a vision. A car accidentally hits Giacometti, and he experiences an epiphany. Darwin introduces accident to the basic process of life, and Freud looks to accident as the expression of unconscious desire. Accident, Ross Hamilton claims, is the force that makes us modern. Tracing the story of accident from Aristotle to Buster Keaton and beyond, Hamilton's daring book revives the tradition of the grand history of ideas. 'Accident 'tells an original history of Western thought from the perspective of Aristotle's remarkably durable categories of accident and substance. Throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages, Aristotle's distinction underwrote an insistence on order and subordination of the inessential. In a groundbreaking innovation, Hamilton argues that after the Reformation, the concept of accident began to change places with that of substance: accident became a life-transforming event and effectively a person's essence. For moderns, it is the accidental, seemingly trivial moments of consciousness that, like Wordsworth's & spots of time,& create constellations of meaning in our lives. Touching on a broad array of images and texts& Augustine, Dante, the frescoes of Raphael, Descartes, Jane Austen, the work of the surrealists, and twentieth-century cinema& Hamilton provides a new way to map the mutations of personal identity and subjectivity.

Die Technik im Urteil von „Lebensphi-losophen“ des 19./20. Jahrhunderts – Kritische Würdigung ihrer eigenstän-digen Deutungen der modernen Technikentwicklung. Leben und Technik – im Nachdenken über ihr problematisches Verhältnis seit der technologischen Revolution der Moderne haben viele „Lebensphi-losophen“ eine wichtige Aufgabe gesehen. Thema des Buchs ist diese technikphilosophische Seite der Lebensphilosophie, die in der Literatur bisher wenig berücksichtigt wurde. Exemplarisch werden die Posi-tionen von zehn Autoren behandelt; „Einleitung“ und „Ausblick“ skizzieren den geschichtlichen Kontext. – Le-bensphilosophen haben die Technik unter dem Blickwinkel des naturhaften (nicht nur menschlichen) „Lebens“ beurteilen gelehrt. Unter Distanzierung vom Fortschrittsglauben erkannten sie die Ambivalenz in der Technikentwick-lung: zwischen not-wendender Lebens-Mittel- und lebensschädigender Über-flussproduktion. Als Sachwalter des Lebens waren sie teils Kritiker, teils auch Befürworter der modernen Tech-nik; nur einzelne waren radikale Tech-nikgegner.
