Three Modern Seers is a book written by Havelock Ellis, a renowned British physician, writer and social reformer. The book is a collection of biographical sketches of three influential thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th century - Friedrich Nietzsche, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Walt Whitman. Ellis presents a detailed account of the lives and works of these three seers, highlighting their contributions to philosophy, literature, and culture. He explores their ideas on individualism, morality, and the human condition, and their impact on modern thought.The first section of the book is dedicated to Nietzsche, a German philosopher and writer who challenged traditional values and championed the idea of the superman. Ellis delves into Nietzsche's life, his philosophy of the will to power, and his critique of religion and morality.The second section focuses on Schopenhauer, a German philosopher who believed that the world is a representation of the will, and that the only way to escape suffering is through asceticism. Ellis examines Schopenhauer's influence on Nietzsche and other thinkers, and his ideas on aesthetics, ethics, and the nature of reality.The final section of the book is dedicated to Whitman, an American poet and essayist who celebrated democracy, individualism, and the beauty of nature. Ellis discusses Whitman's life, his poetry, and his impact on American literature and culture.Overall, Three Modern Seers is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and works of three influential thinkers who shaped modern thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
