Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe as a Representative of the Modern Art Spirit: Published for the "Dante School of Philosophy," St. Louis, Mo At the same time, during the period of his youth, there was a veritable confusion of tongues in Germany respecting the proper standard of work and achievement in art. And this was, as might be expected, especially true of poetry - the most complex of all the forms of art and, as it proved, the form in which Goethe was to unfold his finest powers. Safely out of this confusion of tongues he was to be led by the clear voice of the greatest of English singers. Other influences there were indeed, but this was the greatest of all for him. Under the influence of Shakespeare, Goethe became perfectly clear that the heart, the very soul of a great poem, as of any other work of art, must be a great theme; so that the poem itself is but a living idea spontaneously unfolded into a rhythmic organic form. It is in this relation between these two great poets that I find the clue to what I shall have to say to you at the present time. Goethe himself makes explicit reference to the dependence of the individual upon the characteristics of his own time, and declares it to be inconceivable that one should be the same individual had he been born ten years earlier or ten years later. Applying this principle to the case of Shakespeare, an acute critic has remarked that the preeminence of this poet over all others is to be explained, not merely by his transcendent genius, but also by the altogether unique conditions of the mental and moral life of his time. Within the century a new world had Opened up for exploration and conquest. Everywhere new hopes had been awakened and the intellectual life quickened. Through this process the untitled man had given abundant evidence of his worth; so that there was emerging into ever clearer view a title likely to prove superior to all others - manhood for it: own sake. To this class without titles, but creating for itself a new title, the writers as well as the performers of dramas belonged. The great world itself had become a most fascinating stage, and men and women, without distinction of rank, had proven to be players of most extraordinary parts upon this stage.

Download or read book Dictionary Of Modern American Philosophers written by John R. Shook and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-05-15 with total page 2000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers includes both academic and non-academic philosophers, and a large number of female and minority thinkers whose work has been neglected. It includes those intellectuals involved in the development of psychology, pedagogy, sociology, anthropology, education, theology, political science, and several other fields, before these disciplines came to be considered distinct from philosophy in the late nineteenth century. Each entry contains a short biography of the writer, an exposition and analysis of his or her doctrines and ideas, a bibliography of writings, and suggestions for further reading. While all the major post-Civil War philosophers are present, the most valuable feature of this dictionary is its coverage of a huge range of less well-known writers, including hundreds of presently obscure thinkers. In many cases, the Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers offers the first scholarly treatment of the life and work of certain writers. This book will be an indispensable reference work for scholars working on almost any aspect of modern American thought.

Download or read book Goethe s Art of Living written by Katharina Mommsen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goethe researcher Katharine Mommsen draws the reader into the fascinating life of Germany's greatest literary genius, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). We discover how ordinary items such as the food we eat or the beverages we drink, and everyday activities like hiking, ice-skating, horseback riding, dancing the waltz, and music-making acquire fresh meaning within Goethe's own pantheistic life philosophy. He directed his wisdom toward keeping body and soul healthy, lively, focused, and strong as a basis for a fuller life - for him it became an essential part of the poet's worldly gospel. This book which is composed around hundreds of excerpts from Goethe's works, correspondences and conversations transcends biography, and shows us the poet's art of living in its richness in wit and wisdom, goodness, and love for humanity.
