Download or read book Karl Leonhard Reinhold and the Enlightenment written by George di Giovanni and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-24 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Leonhard Reinhold (1757-1823) is a complex figure of the late German Enlightenment. Sometime Catholic priest and active Mason even when still a cleric in Vienna; early disciple of Kant and the first to try to reform the Critique of Reason; influential teacher and prolific author; astute commentator on the immediate post-Kantian scene; and at all times convinced propagandist of the Enlightenment––in all these roles Reinhold reflected his age but also tested the limits of the values that had inspired it. This collection of essays, originally presented at an international workshop held in Montreal in 2007, conveys this multifaceted figure of Reinhold in all its details. In the four themes that run across the contributions––the historicity of reason; the primacy of moral praxis; the personalism of religious belief; and the transformation of classical metaphysics into phenomenology of mind––Reinhold is presented as a catalyst of nineteenth century thought but also as one who remained bound to intellectual prejudices that were typical of the Enlightenment and, for this reason, as still the representative of a past age. The volume contains the text of two hitherto unpublished Masonic speeches by Reinhold, and a description of recently recovered transcripts of student lecture notes dating to Reinhold’s early Jena period.

Download or read book A Companion to the Works of Johann Gottfried Herder written by Hans Adler and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2009 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New, specially commissioned essays providing an in-depth scholarly introduction to the great thinker of the European Enlightenment. Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803) is one of the great names of the classical age of German literature. One of the last universalists, he wrote on aesthetics, literary history and theory, historiography, anthropology, psychology, education, and theology; translated and adapted poetry from ancient Greek, English, Italian, even from Persian and Arabic; collected folk songs from around the world; and pioneered a better understanding of non-European cultures.A student of Kant's, he became Goethe's mentor in Strasbourg, and was a mastermind of the Sturm und Drang and a luminary of classical Weimar. But the wide range of Herder's interests and writings, along with his unorthodox ways of seeing things, seems to have prevented him being fully appreciated for any of them. His image has also been clouded by association with political ideologies, the proponents of which ignored the message of Humanität in histexts. So although Herder is acknowledged by scholars to be one of the great thinkers of European Enlightenment, there is no up-to-date, comprehensive introduction to his works in English, a lacuna this book fills with seventeennew, specially commissioned essays.

Download or read book The Other Modern Movement written by Kenneth Frampton and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing new look at modernist architecture, emphasizing its diversity, complexity, and broad inventiveness Usually associated with Mies and Le Corbusier, the Modern Movement was instrumental in advancing new technologies of construction in architecture, including the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Renowned historian Kenneth Frampton offers a bold look at this crucial period, focusing on architects less commonly associated with the movement in order to reveal the breadth and complexity of architectural modernism. The Other Modern Movement profiles nineteen architects, each of whom consciously contributed to the evolution of a new architectural typology through a key work realized between 1922 and 1962. Frampton's account offers new insights into iconic buildings like Eileen Gray's E-1027 House in France and Richard Neutra's Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, California, as well as lesser-known works such as Antonin Raymond's Tokyo Golf Club and Alejandro de la Sota's Maravillas School Gymnasium in Madrid. Foregrounding the ways that these diverse projects employed progressive models, advanced new methods in construction techniques, and displayed a new sociocultural awareness, Frampton shines a light on the rich legacy of the Modern Movement and the enduring potential of the unfinished modernist project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Garten als Inspiration Der Garten verkörpert verdichtete Natur, so wie sich nach japanischem Verständnis in einem Tautropfen die Welt widerspiegelt. Diese Vorstellung kann als Impuls für die Imitationen japanischer Gärten in der Schweiz im 20. Jahrhundert gesehen werden, als Anstoß für die Einbindung japanischer Elemente und als Stoffumwandler vom Alpinum zur Trockenlandschaft. Die Autorin illustriert erstmals anhand von zehn Schweizer Landschaftsarchitekturbüros wie diese sich von miniaturisierten Gärten (Bonsai) inspirieren ließen, sich Szenerien (Shakkei) liehen, dem Reiz des Unvollkommenen (Wabi-sabi) erlagen und den Geist von Zen einfingen. Sie beleuchtet Parallelen zur Anverwandlung chinesischer Einflüsse in Japan und verortet das Phänomen in der Rezeption Nippons im Westen. Hochattraktives und viel bisher unveröffentlichtes Bildmaterial Fundiert recherchiertes Material verständlich und ansprechend aufbereitet Japan-Begeisterung in der Schweizer Landschaftsarchitektur Mit einem Fotoessay von Martin Linsi

Download or read book Glossolalia written by Deceased Andrei Bely and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2003 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrei Bely was one of the most prolific poets, novelists, and theoreticians among the Russian Symbolists. Engaged throughout his life with the essence of language, his thoughts and findings emerge repeatedly in his essays and novels. None of his writings on the subject, however, are as remarkable and multi-faceted as this Poem about Sound. Glossolalia is a complex examination of philology, philosophy, esoterica, and poetry, all in search of the relationship between sound and sense. It reverberates with sound associations and transcends all boundaries of language, discipline, and tradition. It is simultaneously a treatise on the origins of language and the world's creation through the movements of sounds. Bely reenacts, through the mouth, the cosmology of Rudolf Steiner. Bely's work, in its bold attempt to invoke the "living word," remains one of the most far-reaching poetic experiments of the twentieth Century, and this edition offers his fascinating text for the first time in both an English and a German translation, along with the original Russian version and an in-depth commentary by Thomas R. Beyer. Illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opposing a regime of accumulation and abstraction This anthology explores the tension between abstraction and economics from the perspectives of art, art theory, art history, as well as law, sociology, philosophy, and economics. It poses questions about the current challenges of a global capitalist economy with claims to expansive growth in relation to aesthetics, technology, and democracy. The relationship between abstraction and economics is discussed in a series of theoretical and artistic contributions. The main focus is on the role of art in mediating between the concrete and the abstract, on formalist approaches to art theory, and on the social and economic cues that help us trace the aesthetic regime of capitalism. Ultimately, this book asks, “how can artistic-aesthetic practices counteract the regime of accumulation and abstraction?” The visual arts in a socioeconomic context Reflecting on the relationship between abstraction and economics from capitalist-critical, decolonial, ecological, and queer-feminist perspectives Contributions by Brenna Bhandar, Christina von Braun, Sabeth Buchmann, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Sven Lütticken, R.

Download or read book Graecomania written by Gilbert Hess and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seit der Klassik und Winckelmanns wirkmächtigen Studien zur Kunstgeschichte bilden die drei Topoi "Griechische Antike", "Kunst" und "Freiheit" eine imaginäre Einheit, die geradezu divinatorische Züge annehmen konnte und ein Modell des klassisch inspirierten Kulturstaates zu begründen half. Im Umfeld des griechischen Freiheitskampfes verband sich dieses ästhetische Ideal mit einer virulent politischen Dimension: Der 1821 ausbrechende Aufstand gegen die Osmanen schürte die Hoffnung, ein neues und freies Griechenland als europäischen Modellstaat errichten zu können. Im Schnittpunkt unterschiedlicher Diskurse gelegen, konnten die Ereignisse im Zeichen des Philhellenismus in gleicher Weise als Glaubenskrieg des Christentums gegen den Islam, als Aufbegehren eines unterdrückten Volkes gegen die Obrigkeit (und damit als Projektionsfläche demokratischer Wunschvorstellungen im bürgerlichen Vormärz) sowie als vermeintliche Renaissance eines antiken Idealzustands gesehen werden. Die Verbindung klassizistischer und romantischer Ideale initiierte ebenso wie der gezielte Einsatz unterschiedlicher Medien eine stände- und schichtenübergreifende Wirksamkeit und ermöglichte eine bislang ungekannte Massenmobilisierung, die in einer kaum überschaubaren Menge literarischer und künstlerischer Erzeugnisse ihren Niederschlag fand. Der interdisziplinär angelegte Band mit Beiträgen aus Frankreich, Italien, den USA und Deutschland analysiert die Bedeutung des Philhellenismus für die Ausbildung eines ästhetisch-kulturellen Europagedankens und untersucht vergleichend seine Rezeptionsgeschichte in den europäischen Ländern.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herders Metakritik aus dem Jahr 1799 ist ein Generalangriff auf Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft und den beginnenden Kantianismus an der Universitat Jena, zu dem Herder offensichtlich auch die Philosophie Fichtes rechnet. Bei den Zeitgenossen war dieses Werk Herders Ruf als Philosoph nicht eben zutraglich. Die Nachwelt aber kann Herders auf Hamann gestutzte, sprachanalytisch verfahrende Kritik auch einer kritisch bereinigten Metaphysik als Vorbereitung des linguistic turn der Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts ganz neu schatzen und interessiert sich fur den Ansatz eines holistischen, lebensphilosophischen Naturalismus und seine unausgeschopften Potentiale. - Die in diesem Band versammelten Beitrage versuchen, die schwierigen Lehrstucke dieses Werks transparent zu machen, und werfen ein Licht auf den Entstehungs- und Wirkungskontext dieser so lange vernachlassigten Schrift. - Mit Beitragen von Andreas Arndt, Manfred Baum, Oswald Bayer, Martin Bondeli, Markus Buntfuss, Marion Heinz, Petra Lohmann, Angelica Nuzzo, Violetta Stolz, Pierluigi Valenza, Rainer Wisbert und Gunter Zoller.

Download or read book ART and the MIND Ernst H GOMBRICH written by Sybille Moser-Ernst and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernst H. Gombrich, the Art Historian, master of both Continental thought and English language, became one of the world's most well-known representatives of the discipline. Half a century ago his testable theories transformed thinking on how to look at art. After only a few years during which semiotics appeared to render Sir Ernst's common-sense framework outdated, the rise of cognitive approaches has enabled him to recover internationally the status he once had in France as a radical thinker within modern philosophy. This book explores Gombrich's intellectual legacy by analysing some of the concepts and insights in the context of Image Science, the "Steckenpferd". The international contributors are original authorities in their own right, among them some of Gombrich's former students.
