ベケットの未公刊テクストを発掘。1930年代に蓄積された西洋哲学史についての知識や見解は、後年の『ゴドーを待ちながら』などの作品群に反映されることになる。This edition presents, for the first time, Beckett's full 'Philosophy Notes', which constitute his most extensive unpublished text. The Notes display Beckett's own interests and emphases within the history of western philosophy, from the pre-Socratic Greeks onwards, together with more familiar figures in the study of his work, such as Descartes, Leibnitz, and Geulincx. Here we see Beckett's original thoughts on all of these figures for the first time.
