Friedrich Schlegel and the Emergence of Romantic Philosophy
State University of New York Press (Verlag)
978-0-7914-7084-8 (ISBN)
This book addresses the philosophical reception of early German Romanticism and offers the first in-depth study in English of the movement's most important philosopher, Friedrich Schlegel, presenting his philosophy against the background of the controversies that shaped its emergence. Elizabeth Millán-Zaibert begins by distinguishing early German Romanticism from classical German Idealism, under which it has all too often been subsumed, and then explores Schlegel's romantic philosophy (and his rejection of first principles) by showing how he responded to three central figures of the post-Kantian period in Germany—Jacobi, Reinhold, and Fichte—as well as to Kant himself. She concludes with a comprehensive critique of the aesthetic and epistemological consequences of Schlegel's thought, with special attention paid to his use of irony.
Elizabeth Millán-Zaibert is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University. She is the coeditor (with Arleen Salles) of The Role of History in Latin American Philosophy: Contemporary Perspectives and the translator of Manfred Frank's The Philosophical Foundations of Early German Romanticism, both also published by SUNY Press.
