● Alexander J. B. Hampton, Romantic Religion:
Dissolution and Transcendence in the Poetics of Hölderlin, pp, 61-73
Focusing upon the thought of Hölderlin, this examination
places early German Romanticism in the context of the history of religion, at a
time when the religious outlook of the West was undergoing profound change.
Hölderlin was concerned with the loss of divine language, which had the
capacity to hold together subject and object, self and nature, in a
transcendent ground that united both. The loss of this language made these
conceptual pairs appear increasingly as antinomies. This was evinced in the
popular, but mutually exclusive philosophies of Spinoza and Fichte, which both
sought an immanent foundation to replace the loss of the transcendent. A
central element of Hölderlin’s poetic project was to find a new language for
transcendence in an age of immanence. To do so, he turned not to philosophy or
theology, but to poetics, whose rhythmic nature, he argued, was capable of re-presenting
transcendence. This examination will begin with a brief historical
consideration of the relation of transcendence and immanence, before proceeding
to Hölderlin’s consideration of the loss of the language of transcendence, and
the need to develop a new one. The final section will examine how Hölderlin
aimed to achieve this in his poetics.
● Rylie Johnson, From Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre to Novalis’ Poetic Historicity, pp. 105-127
Ik citeer Note 8: Why Fichte? Novalis’ philosophical thought was largely informed by his
studies on Fichte. It is for this reason that, according to Frederick C.
Beiser, Novalis was for a long time dismissed as simply constructing a “poetic
version of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre.” Today, however, Novalis is recognized
as a thinker in his own right who was quite critical of Fichte’s system. For
Beiser, Novalis belongs to the tradition of absolute idealism, pre-dating and
anticipating both Schelling’s and Hegel’s respective systems. Specifically,
Novalis criticizes Fichte for his reduction of the absolute to the “I,” and
sought to “synthesize Fichte and Spinoza” through an appeal to an absolute qua
God. However, this point is not uncontested. Hence, in her book The Romantic Absolute, Dalia Nassar
criticizes Beiser for rendering the romantic project into a kind of Spinozism;
obscuring the romantic investment in constructing the “I” in a manner
consistent with Fichte. As such, Novalis’ philosophical projecting onsists in
realizing God in the world through the activity of the “I,” but not in a matter
of striving; a task, which, unlike Nassar or Beiser, this article seeks to
show, is necessarily historical in nature. See: Frederick C. Beiser, German Idealism: The Struggle Against
Subjectivism, 1781-1801 (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2008), 420;
