Lärm - Eine Kampfschrift gegen die Geräusche unseres Lebens

Lärm - Eine Kampfschrift gegen die Geräusche unseres Lebens

by Theodor Lessing

In "Lärm", Theodor Lessing explores the pervasive problem of noise in modern life. He analyzes the effects of noise on individuals and society, delving into the philosophical, psychological, and physiological consequences of excessive sound. Lessing's work critiques the growing noise pollution of urban life and its impact on intellectual thought and personal wellbeing. He uses a variety of examples to illustrate his argument, drawing on his own experiences as a thinker struggling against the cacophony of modern life. Lessing's writing shifts seamlessly between the analytical voice of a scholar and the frustration of a citizen burdened by noise, offering a nuanced and insightful critique of the societal implications of this widespread phenomenon.
