German Idealism: "For a god, knowing always the proper measure"

"No power will again be suppressed, then general freedom and equality will reign among spirits! – A higher spirit, sent from heaven, must found this new religion among us, it will be the last, greatest task of humanity." Hölderlin

Yes, I'm bored of french theory. deutschland über alles. anyway. as long as this is modernity, the determination of "as" firstly touches what does not come before it, the void that led the sentence to appear. that is why a german issue issued itself.

note that a 15 book schelling issue is next and there will be a suprise for all, a new schelling pdf that I made. have a nice summer! sun shines! hölderlin sings! this belated romantic suffers!

The Rhetoric of Romanticism

Hölderlin sath:
For a god, knowing always the proper measure,
Touches sparingly and just for a moment the homes
Of men — unexpectedly, and no one knows when.
But then something boisterous may appear,
And wildness may come to the holy place from afar.
Grasping about roughly, it touches upon madness,
And fills some intention thereby.
Gratitude doesn't follow the gift
From the gods immediately:
It has to be deeply studied first.
For if the giver hadn't been cautious,
From the blessing of the hearth both
Floor and ceiling would have gone up in flames.

Challenges to German Idealism: Schelling, Fichte and Kant

Challenges to German Idealism: Schelling, Fichte and Kant
by Kyriaki Goudeli

# Hardcover: 224 pages
# Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan (January 15, 2003)

This book offers an important reappraisal of Schelling's philosophy and his relationship to German Idealism. Focusing on Schelling's self-critique in early identity philosophy the author rejects those criticisms of Schelling made by both Hegel and Heidegger. This work significantly redraws the boundaries of metaphysical thinking, arguing for a dialogue between rational philosophy, mythology and cosmology.

German Philosophy 1760-1860: The Legacy of Idealism

German Philosophy 1760-1860: The Legacy of Idealism
by Terry Pinkard

# Paperback: 392 pages
# Publisher: Cambridge University Press (September 16, 2002)

Published a little more than two years ago, Pinkard's Hegel: A Biography has quickly become the standard life in English of the world's major Romantic-era philosopher, not least because of its magisterial explications of the finer points of Hegel's thought, along with its extremely forthright judiciousness about the life. To have another work from Pinkard, professor of philosophy at Northwestern University, in so short a time is remarkable. Pinkard takes readers-carefully, succinctly and in a manner sensitive to the political and social ferment of the time-on a journey through the most important hundred years in philosophy since the Renaissance. Beginning with the Kantian revolution in human understanding of its own knowledge (the ethical and political consequences that result from it), Pinkard walks readers through the philosophical chaos that reigned through the 1790s, when Hegel was at university with Halderlin and Schelling and the German states were in upheaval, through to Hegel's "completion" of Kant's project (announced with 1807's Phenomenology of Spirit) and Schopenhauer's version of idealism (mirrored in Kierkegaard's pessimism). In Pinkard's hands, what could be just names come alive as men and ideas that have much to teach us about our own beliefs about how to live. As he writes of Hegel's phenomenology, "it was to provide an education, a bildung, a formation for its readership so that they could grasp who they had become (namely, a people individually and collectively `called' to be free), why they had become those people, and why that had been necessary."

Berlin Electropolis: Shock, Nerves, and German Modernity

Berlin Electropolis: Shock, Nerves, and German Modernity
(Weimar and Now: German Cultural Criticism)
by Andreas Killen

# Hardcover: 303 pages
# Publisher: University of California Press; 1 edition (January 16, 2006)

Berlin Electropolis ties the German discourse on nervousness in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to Berlin's transformation into a capital of the second industrial revolution. Focusing on three key groups--railway personnel, soldiers, and telephone operators--Andreas Killen traces the emergence in the 1880s and then later decline of the belief that modernity caused nervous illness. During this period, Killen explains, Berlin became arguably the most advanced metropolis in Europe. A host of changes, many associated with breakthroughs in technologies of transportation, communication, and leisure, combined to radically alter the shape and tempo of everyday life in Berlin. The resulting consciousness of accelerated social change and the shocks and afflictions that accompanied it found their consummate expression in the discourse about nervousness.
Wonderfully researched and clearly written, this book offers a wealth of new insights into the nature of the modern metropolis, the psychological aftermath of World War I, and the operations of the German welfare state. Killen also explores cultural attitudes toward electricity, the evolution of psychiatric thought and practice, and the status of women workers in Germany's rapidly industrializing economy. Ultimately, he argues that the backlash against the welfare state that occurred during the late Weimar Republic brought about the final decoupling of modernity and nervous illness.

From the Inside Flap
"Berlin Electropolis is the first English-language history of neurasthenia or of nerves in the German context. However, the author does more than just narrate the history of this central, yet puzzling malady; he discusses the construction, maintenance, and ultimate unraveling of a cultural assumption, by which modernity and progress were seen as creating nervous pathology. Killen introduces readers to a great deal of fascinating material and forges new connections between science, culture and society."--Paul Lerner, author of Hysterical Men: War, Psychiatry, and the Politics of Trauma in Germany, 1890-1930

Romantic Atheism: Poetry and Freethought, 1780-1830
(Cambridge Studies in Romanticism)
by Martin Priestman

# Paperback: 324 pages
# Publisher: Cambridge University Press; 1 edition (November 2, 2006)

Romantic Atheism explores the links between English Romantic poetry and the first burst of outspoken atheism in Britain, from the 1780s onward. Martin Priestman examines the work of Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron and Keats in their most intellectually radical periods, as well as a host of less canonical poet-intellectuals and controversialists of the time. Above all, the book conveys the excitement of Romantic atheism, whose dramatic appeals to new developments in politics, science and comparative mythology lent it a protean energy belied by the more recent conception of "loss of faith."

Philosophy and Religion in German Idealism

Philosophy and Religion in German Idealism
(Studies in German Idealism)

by William Desmond (Editor), Ernst-Otto Onnasch (Editor), Paul Cruysberghs (Editor)

# Hardcover: 175 pages
# Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (October 29, 2004)

This volume comprises studies written by prominent scholars working in the field of German Idealism. These scholars come from the English speaking philosophical world and Continental Europe. They treat major aspects of the place of religion in Idealism, Romanticism and other schools of thought and culture. They also discuss the tensions and relations between religion and philosophy in terms of the specific form they take in German Idealism, and in terms of the effect they still have on contemporary culture. The authors consider figures such as Kant, Fichte, Hegel, and Jacobi.
The book will prove very informative to researchers and teachers working in the fields of philosophy, philosophy of religion, and classical German philosophy.

The Philosophical Foundations of Early German Romanticism

The Philosophical Foundations of Early German Romanticism
(Intersections: Philosophy and Critical Theory)
by Manfred Frank

Elizabeth Millan-Zaibert (Translator)

Often portrayed as a movement of poets lost in swells of passion, early German Romanticism has been generally overlooked by scholars in favor of the great system-builders of the post-Kantian period, Schelling and Hegel. In the twelve lectures collected here, Manfred Frank redresses this oversight, offering an in-depth exploration of the philosophical contributions and contemporary relevance of early German Romanticism. Arguing that the early German Romantics initiated an original movement away from idealism, Frank brings the leading figures of the movement, Fredrich Schlegel and Friedrich von Hardenberg (Novalis), into concert with contemporary philosophical developments, and explores the role that Friedrich Hölderlin and other members of the Homberg Circle had upon the development of early German Romantic philosophy.

The Philosopher's Voice: Philosophy, Politics, and Language in the Nineteenth Century

The Philosopher's Voice: Philosophy, Politics, and Language in the Nineteenth Century
(Suny Series in Philosophy)
by Andrew G. Fiala

# Hardcover: 352 pages
# Publisher: State University of New York Press (October 2002)

This analysis of the relationship between philosophy and politics recognizes that political philosophers must continually struggle to distinguish their voices from others that clamor within political life. Author Andrew Fiala asks whether it is possible to maintain a distinction between philosophical speech and other political and poetic language. His answer is that philosophy distinguishes itself from politics by its methodological self-consciousness of the nature of its voice. By focusing on the different ways in which this methodological norm was enacted in the lives and work of Kant, Fichte, Hegel, and Marx, the author puts the problem in a larger context and considers the roles that these thinkers played in the political history of the nineteenth century. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Romantic Genius and the Literary Magazine Biography, Celebrity, Politics

Romantic Genius and the Literary Magazine Biography, Celebrity, Politics
(Routledge Studies in Romanticism)
by David Higgins

# Hardcover: 192 pages
# Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (October 19, 2005)

In early nineteenth-century Britain, there was unprecedented interest in the subject
of genius, as well as in the personalities and private lives of creative artists. This was also a period in which literary magazines were powerful arbiters of taste, helping to shape the ideological consciousness of their middle-class readers. Romantic Genius and the Literary Magazine considers how these magazines debated the nature of genius and how and why they constructed particular creative artists as geniuses. Romantic writers often imagined genius to be a force that transcended the
realms of politics and economics. David Higgins, however, shows in this text that
representations of genius played an important role in ideological and commercial
conflicts within early nineteenth-century literary culture. Romantic Genius and the
Literary Magazine also bridges the gap between Romantic and Victorian literary history by considering the ways in which Romanticism was understood and sometimes
challenged by writers in the 1830s. It not only discusses a wide range of canonical and non-canonical authors, but also examines the various structures in which these authors had to operate, making it an interesting and important book for anyone working on Romantic literature.

David Higgins is a Lecturer in English at the University of Chester, and has
published articles on Wordsworth, Hazlitt and nineteenth-century constructions
of race.

Beiser - Hegel

Hegel
(The Routledge Philosophers)
by Frederick Beiser

# Paperback: 353 pages
# Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (June 13, 2005)

Hegel (1770-1831) is one of the towering philosophers of the nineteenth century. Many of the major philosophical movements of the twentieth century--from existentialism to analytic philosophy -- also grew out of reactions against Hegel. He is also one of the hardest philosophers to understand and his complex ideas, though rewarding, are often misunderstood.

In this magisterial and lucid introduction, Frederick Beiser covers every major aspect of Hegel's thought. He places Hegel in the historical context in nineteenth century Germany while clarifying the deep insights and originality of Hegel's philosophy.

About the Author
Frederick Beiser is Professor of Philosophy at Syracuse University. He has also taught at many universities, including Harvard, Yale, Indiana and Wisconsin. He is the author of The Fate of Reason, German Idealism and is editor of The Cambridge Companion to Hegel.

Beiser - Schiller as Philosopher: A Re-Examination

Schiller as Philosopher: A Re-Examination
by Frederick Beiser

Review
`Review from previous edition a carefully researched, meticulously documented, and clearly written account of one of the insufficiently appreciated philosophical thinkers of the eighteenth century' Christopher Adair-Toteff, British Journal for the History of Philosophy

`...by taking Schiller seriously as a philosopher Beiser succeeds in revealing the subtlety of his thought and mounts a persuasive case against the narrow representation of his ideas in contemporary Kant scholarship.' Jason Gaiger, The Philosophers' Magazine

`the author has done a tremendous job of reintroducing Schiller and his philosophy to the modern world' Brad Eden, Consciousness, Literature and the Arts

`Beiser's approach and even his arguments mirror the deeply unsettled character of Schiller's thought itself.' Robert E Norton, Times Literary Supplement

Product Description
Fred Beiser, renowned as one of the world's leading historians of German philosophy, presents a brilliant new study of Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805), rehabilitating him as a philosopher worthy of serious attention. Beiser shows, in particular, that Schiller's engagement with Kant is far more subtle and rewarding than is often portrayed. Promising to be a landmark in the study of German thought, Schiller as Philosopher will be compulsory reading for any philosopher, historian, or literary scholar engaged with the key developments of this fertile period.
