| Abstract: | "From the best-selling author of The Invention of Nature comes an exhilarating story about a remarkable group of young rebels-poets, novelists, philosophers-who, through their epic quarrels, passionate love stories, heartbreaking grief, and radical ideas launched Romanticism onto the world stage, inspiring some of the greatest thinkers of the time. When did we begin to be as self-centered as we are today? At what point did we expect to have the right to determine our own lives? When did we first ask the question, How can I be free? It all began in a quiet university town in Germany in the 1790s, when a group of playwrights, poets, and writers put the self at center stage in their thinking, their writing, and their lives. This brilliant circle included the famous poets Goethe, Schiller, and Novalis; the visionary philosophers Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel; the contentious Schlegel brothers; and, in a wonderful cameo, Alexander von Humboldt. And at the heart of this group was the formidable Caroline Schlegel, who sparked their dazzling conversations about the self, nature, identity, and freedom. The French revolutionaries may have changed the political landscape of Europe, but the young Romantics incited a revolution of the mind that transformed our world forever. We are still empowered by their daring leap into the self, and by their radical notions of the creative potential of the individual, the highest aspirations of art and science, the unity of nature, and the true meaning of freedom. We also still walk the same tightrope between meaningful self-fulfillment and destructive narcissism, between the rights of the individual and our responsibilities toward our community and future generations. At the heart of this inspiring book is the extremely modern tension between the dangers of selfishness and the thrilling possibilities of free will"-- |

When did we begin to be as self-centered as we are today? At what point did we expect to have the right to determine our own lives? When did we first ask the question, How can I be free? It all began in a quiet university town in Germany in the 1790s, when a group of playwrights, poets, and writers put the self at center stage in their thinking, their writing, and their lives. This brilliant circle included the famous poets Goethe, Schiller, and Novalis; the visionary philosophers Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel; the contentious Schlegel brothers; and, in a wonderful cameo, Alexander von Humboldt. And at the heart of this group was the formidable Caroline Schlegel, who sparked their dazzling conversations about the self, nature, identity, and freedom. The French revolutionaries may have changed the political landscape of Europe, but the young Romantics incited a revolution of the mind that transformed our world forever. We are still empowered by their daring leap into the self, and by their radical notions of the creative potential of the individual, the highest aspirations of art and science, the unity of nature, and the true meaning of freedom. We also still walk the same tightrope between meaningful self-fulfillment and destructive narcissism, between the rights of the individual and our responsibilities toward our community and future generations. At the heart of this inspiring book is the extremely modern tension between the dangers of selfishness and the thrilling possibilities of free will"-- Fichte, Johann Gottlieb 1762-1814 (DE-588)118532847 gnd rswk-swf Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich 1770-1831 (DE-588)118547739 gnd rswk-swf Schelling, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von 1775-1854 (DE-588)118607057 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1794-1806 gnd rswk-swf Selbst (DE-588)4121653-2 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Deutsch (DE-588)4113292-0 gnd rswk-swf Selbst Motiv (DE-588)4399198-1 gnd rswk-swf Romantik (DE-588)4050491-8 gnd rswk-swf Jena (DE-588)4028557-1 gnd rswk-swf Romanticism / Germany / Biography Self in literature Authors, German / 19th century / Biography Self-realization Biographies Deutsch (DE-588)4113292-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Romantik (DE-588)4050491-8 s Selbst Motiv (DE-588)4399198-1 s DE-604 Fichte, Johann Gottlieb 1762-1814 (DE-588)118532847 p Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich 1770-1831 (DE-588)118547739 p Schelling, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von 1775-1854 (DE-588)118607057 p Jena (DE-588)4028557-1 g Selbst (DE-588)4121653-2 s Geschichte 1794-1806 z Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-529-39277-7 HEBIS Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033884686&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
