Lärm - Eine Kampfschrift gegen die Geräusche unseres Lebens
'Lärm - Eine Kampfschrift gegen die Geräusche unseres Lebens' Summary
Theodor Lessing's "Lärm" is a passionate treatise against the pervasiveness of noise in modern life. As a scholar and intellectual, Lessing argues that noise is a significant detriment to thought and concentration, hindering the intellectual pursuits of individuals and society as a whole. He delves into the philosophical, psychological, and physiological impacts of noise pollution, demonstrating its ability to disrupt intellectual processes and generate social discord. Lessing critiques the growing noise of urban life and its impact on individuals, comparing the modern city to a symphony of unharmonious sounds. He provides numerous examples to illustrate his argument, drawing on personal experiences and observations of the everyday world. Throughout the work, Lessing's tone shifts between the analytical voice of a scholar and the frustration of a citizen grappling with the consequences of noise, offering a comprehensive and insightful critique of this omnipresent societal problem.Book Details
