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."

Romantic Atheism: Poetry and Freethought, 1780-1830


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."

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.

# Paperback: 314 pages
# Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing (December 2003)

Nietzsche and the German Tradition. To those persuaded that Nietzsche is the anti-German, antitraditional thinker par excellence, this title may well appear contradictory. Just how potentially contradictory (but also fruitful) it is, can be gauged by recasting it as a series of questions, emphasising each word in turn: Nietzsche and the German Tradition?

Among all poisons, the soul is the most potent.
—NOVALIS, DAS ALLGEMEINE BROUILLON, 2: 706

Every substance can become a poison. For only through
the activity of an organism does a substance become poisonous.
—SCHELL1NG, ERSTER ENTWURF, 73

The living is something fixed and determined in-and-for-itself
Whatever it touches chemically on the outside is immediately
transformed by this contact. . .. The living immediately poisons
this other, transforms it, as spirit does when it intuits something,
transforming it and making it its own. For that something
is its representation.

"This is a timely, useful, and compelling synthesis of important themes in German philosophical aesthetic thought. Recommended." Choice

The book begins with the work of Baumgarten and covers all the major writers on German aesthetics that follow: Kant, Schiller, Schelling, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Gadamer and Adorno.

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.

Idealism Without Absolutes: Philosophy and Romantic Culture


Idealism Without Absolutes: Philosophy and Romantic Culture
(Intersections: Philosophy and Critical Theory)
by Tilottama Rajan (& Arkady Plotnitsky (Editor)

# Hardcover: 288 pages
# Publisher: State University of New York Press (March 2004)

Idealism without Absolutes offers an ambitious and broad reconsideration of Idealism in relation to Romanticism and subsequent thought. Linking Idealist and Romantic philosophy to contemporary theory, the volume explores the multiplicity of different philosophical incarnations of Idealism and materialism, and shows how they mix with and invade each other in philosophy and culture. The contributors discuss a wide range of major figures in the long Romantic period, from Kant and Hegel to Nietzsche, as well as key figures defining the contemporary intellectual debate, including Freud, Heidegger, Adorno, Lyotard, Derrida, de Man, and Deleuze and Guattari. While preserving the significance of the historical period extending from Kant to the early nineteenth century, the volume gives the concept of Romantic culture a new historical and philosophical meaning that extends from its pre-Kantian past to our own culture and beyond.

The Theory Of Literature In German Romanticism


from Preface: http://www.egs.edu/faculty/nancy/nancy-the-literary-absolute.html
"O Genoa, willingly would I divide myself into thee And a wave, in thy port, roll with the waves, Ripen in the company of thy golden oranges, Become the marble and audacity of thy porticos; A hero, I would rally thy band of maidens, I would tear the veil from their fiery eyes, I would revel in cups of nectar, In all of them, tarrying at none. Done with vague longing and hazy dreams! Let me delight in and embrace the stone statue, The Cytherean, and not her reflection. I dreamt--when from the foam, upsurging Came the goddess in a fragrance of roses. A voice resounded: "I form and transfigure!" Zacharias Werner From Selected Writings, published by his friends( Grimma, 1840- 1841), vol 1, 174. "
