'Like the magical emergence of a medieval cathedral, the work of
many different hands and generations, philosophical romanticism
takes on a definite, if not always definable shape in this
collection of remarkable essays, each of which - along with the
editor's valuable introduction - deserves and rewards careful
reading.' - Daniel Dahlstrom, Boston University, USA'This volume
reflects - and will no doubt intensify - the strong resurgence of
interest in German Early Romanticism and the diverse philosophical
approaches that have developed in its wake. Several of the thirteen
essays are especially helpful because of the clear and insightful
way that they lay out the main philosophical relations between key
historical figures (e.g., Kant, Schelling, Novalis, Schlegel,
Goethe). Other essays, by well-known authors such as Cavell,
Pippin, and Dreyfus, elegantly shed light on philosophical topics
(e.g., the task of a philosophy of the future, the nature of
self-determination, the significance of the everyday) of
contemporary interest. This is certainly one of the most
interesting collections of its kind in English.' - Karl Ameriks,
University of Notre Dame, USA
