He aquí un libro de lectura imprescindible para conocer a fondo los primero pasos de Ortega en la filosofía alemana“. De la reseña de Nelson R. Orringer Catedrático Emérito de Letras Hispánicas y Comparadas, University of Connecticut (Storrs, EE.UU)

The main idea behind this interdisciplinary series is to publish works of philosophers on topics related to contemporary debates on modernity and post-modernity. The crisis following the collapse of communism has been commonly described as the end, if not of modernity as such, at least of modernity. Terms like post-modernity or reflexive modernity indicate not only transformations in social, economic and political structures, but also in manners of thinking, of conceptualising reality.

“Insane run“ focuses on European culture of the late nineteenth century and the Polish contribution to it. The word “dark“ is understood as a metaphor of gradual devaluation of the idea of progress. It also receives a literal sense: the book focuses on darkness that found its way back to the European public space.
