Spielarten der Selbsterfindung (German, Hardcover)

The title ?Varieties of Self-Invention denotes a project to reconstruct Romanticism as a philosophical epoch. That is why Fichte and Schelling have been brought into a new configuration with F. Schlegel and interpreted as philosophical protagonists of Romantic literature. Here the focus is on their many varieties of Romantic self-invention, which are related to the great human themes such as ?freedom, ?love God, ?death and ?devil . In addition, in exemplary studies the book emphasizes the central concept of infinite irony and the typical rhetorical artistic character of Romantic philosophy."
