This article aims to show that Overbeck, in his later years, sketched a precise theory of asceticism. However deep-rooted in his (hyper-)ascetic interpretation of “real Christianity”, it casts a glance beyond Christianity and probably represents his most fascinating and inspired diagnosis of how a post-Christian world might look.

However deep-rooted in his (hyper-)ascetic interpretation of “real Christianity”, it casts a glance beyond Christianity and probably represents his most fascinating and inspired diagnosis of how a post-Christian world might look.File in questo prodotto:
