The Passion of Infinity generates a historical narrative surrounding the concept of the irrational as a threat which rational culture has made a series of attempts to understand and relieve. It begins with a reading of Sophocles' Oedipus as the paradigmatic figure of a reason that, having transgressed its mortal limit, becomes catastrophically reversed. It then moves through Aristotle's ethics, psychology and theory of tragedy, which redefine reason's collapses in moral-psychological rather than religious terms. By changing the way in which the irrational is conceived, and the nature of its relation to reason, Aristotle eliminates the concept of an irrationality which reason cannot in principle dissolve. The book culminates in an extensive reading of Kierkegaard's pseudonyms, who, in a critical retrieval of both Greek tragedy and Aristotle, prescribe their apparently pathological age a paradoxical task: develop a finite form of subjectivity willing to undergo an unthinkable thought ‐ allow the transcendence of a god to enter into the mind as well as the marrow, to make a tragic appearance in which a limit to the immanence of human reason can again be established.

This book was inspired by my children, especially my oldest daughter. My daughters were encouraged to write their prayers on paper, and then on the same paper, they were to write out the answers to their prayers. After about a month, I took the prayers they had written down and began to read them, and I was taken aback with the level of intensity and clarity in my oldest daughters writing. This book is a tool that can be used by parents to increase their childs understanding of prayer, the importance of prayer, and the skills needed to continue in their passion for prayer. This book was designed to encourage children to increase their personal skills and to work on developing skills not only for now but for Life.

Elizabeth, who ran through the dark to complete her first 100-mile run despite having no vision at night..and 97% vision loss during the day. Sarah, the only finisher--male or female--of a bitterly cold race which just happened to be 135 miles long. Lloyd, a beginning runner at 59 and holder of various age group records once he reached the ages of 70, 75, 80 and now 85. Bob, winner of countless races in his 30's and 40's who can't seem to slow down in his 50's. Jerry, who ran an official marathon course 200 times in the year 2000 because...well, just because. Al, who has run a sub-five minute mile, sub-three hour marathon, and 100 miles in less than 24 hours at age 60 yet still imagines what the future holds at the age of 64. All have their own unique story to tell, and Ludwig is proud to be the one to tell them.
