About this book

In Defense of the Accidental (Apologie des Zufälligen): Philosophical Studies (Odéon) by Odo Marquard. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780195072525.

The seven essays collected in this book address the history of modern ideas and contemporary cultural issues. The first is the discourse of Marquards acceptance of the Sigmund Freud prize; the second addresses the equivalence of modernity and the theodiceé; the third confronts the idea of "meaning"; the fourth considers the notion of world history; the fifth addresses world alienation; the sixth deals with the human sciences; and the seventh is a mediation on chance and luck as essential aspects of the human condition.
