englischAs long as he strives, Faust remains caught in the force field of two circles: His pact with Mephistopheles has forced him into a ‘vicious circle’, while Mephistopheles' wager with the Lord has embroiled him in a ‘circle with God’. Having failed in his devilishly hasty attempts to make progress, the literary figure—as a tragic figure of modernity—becomes a philosophical challenge.

In this book, the two authors take up this challenge and ask how a life conducted on one's own initiative can succeed. Their discussion on the answer to this question results in three narratives of success that are missing in Goethe's Faust: the joy of life, happiness in love and self-orientation.
