Download or read book Idealism without Absolutes written by Tilottama Rajan and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Idealism without Absolutes offers an ambitious and broad reconsideration of Idealism in relation to Romanticism and subsequent thought. Linking Idealist and Romantic philosophy to contemporary theory, the volume explores the multiplicity of different philosophical incarnations of Idealism and materialism, and shows how they mix with and invade each other in philosophy and culture. The contributors discuss a wide range of major figures in the long Romantic period, from Kant and Hegel to Nietzsche, as well as key figures defining the contemporary intellectual debate, including Freud, Heidegger, Adorno, Lyotard, Derrida, de Man, and Deleuze and Guattari. While preserving the significance of the historical period extending from Kant to the early nineteenth century, the volume gives the concept of Romantic culture a new historical and philosophical meaning that extends from its pre-Kantian past to our own culture and beyond.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Absolute Idealism and Immortality This thesis claims to be no more than its title indicates, a discussion of the problem of immortality from the standpoint of absolute idealism. Or rather it is an attempt to evaluate the motives in absolute idealism which havea bearing upon the doctrine of immortality, whether negative or affirmative. It therefore does not aim at presenting the historical or the theo logical argument for immortality, but confines itself to the metaphysical.

Book Art as the Absolute

Download or read book Art as the Absolute written by Paul Gordon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art as the Absolute is a literary and philosophical investigation into the meaning of art and its claims to truth. Exploring in particular the writings of Kant and those who followed after, including Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, Paul Gordon contends that art solves the problem of how one can ?know? the absolute in non-conceptual, non-discursive terms. The idea of art's inherent relation to the absolute, first explicitly rendered by Kant, is examined in major works from 1790 to 1823. The first and last chapters, on Plato and Nietzsche respectively, deal with precursors and ?post-cursors? of this idea. Gordon shows and seeks to reddress the lack of attention to this idea after Hegel, as well as in contemporary reassessments of this period. Art as the Absolute will be of interest to students and scholars studying aesthetics from both a literary and philosophical perspective.

  • Author : William Desmond

  • ISBN : 1438400926
  • Pages : 246 pages

Download or read book Art and the Absolute written by William Desmond and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1986-06-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art and the Absolute restores Hegel's aesthetics to a place of central importance in the Hegelian system. In so doing, it brings Hegel into direct relation with the central thrust of contemporary philosophy. The book draws on the astonishing scope and depths of Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics, exploring the multifaceted issue of art and the absolute. Why does Hegel ascribe absoluteness to art? What can such absoluteness mean? How does it relate to religion and philosophy? How does Hegel's view of art illuminate the contemporary absence of the absolute? Art and the Absolute argues that these aesthetic questions are not mere theoretical conundrums for abstract analysis. It argues that Hegel's understanding of art can provide an indispensable hermeneutic relevant to current controversies. Art and the Absolute explores the intricacies of Hegel's aesthetic thought, communicating its contemporary relevance. It shows how for Hegel art illuminates the other areas of significant human experience such as history, religion, politics, literature. Against traditional, closed views, the result is a challenge to re-read Hegel's aesthetic philosophy.

Book Romantic Metasubjectivity Through Schelling and Jung

Download or read book Romantic Metasubjectivity Through Schelling and Jung written by Gord Barentsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-08 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romantic Metasubjectivity Through Schelling and Jung: Rethinking the Romantic Subject explores the remarkable intellectual isomorphism between the philosophy of Friedrich Schelling and Carl Jung’s analytical psychology in order to offer a crucial and original corrective to the "reflection theory" of subjectivity. Arguing that the reflection theory of the subject does not do justice to the full compass of Romantic thinking about the human being, Romantic Metasubjectivity sees human identity as neither discursive aftereffect nor centred around a self-transparent "I" but rather as constellated around the centripetal force of what Novalis calls "The Self of one’s self." The author begins with a unique reading of Schelling’s early Naturphilosophie as primal site rather than Freudian scene, thinking this site through his Philosophical Inquiries Into the Nature of Human Freedom to The Ages of the World. Reading Jungian metapsychology and its core concepts as therapeutic amplifications of Schelling, the author articulates an intellectual counter-transference in which Schelling and Jung contemporise each other. The book then demonstrates how Romantic metasubjectivity operates in the libidinal matrix of Romantic poetry through readings of William Wordsworth’s The Prelude and Percy Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound. The book concludes with a discussion of the hit TV series Breaking Bad as a "case study" of the challenges Romantic metasubjectivity raises for fundamental ethical dilemmas which confront us in the twenty-first century. Romantic Metasubjectivity is a highly original work of scholarship and will appeal to students and scholars in German Idealism, Romanticism, philosophy, psychoanalysis, theory, Jung studies, and those with an interest in contemporary theories of the subject.

Download or read book Self Consciousness and Objectivity written by Sebastian Ršdl and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sebastian Rödl undermines a foundational dogma of contemporary philosophy: that knowledge, in order to be objective, must be knowledge of something that is as it is, independent of being known to be so. This profound work revives the thought that knowledge, precisely on account of being objective, is self-knowledge: knowledge knowing itself.

  • Publisher : Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
  • Release : 2016-10-09
  • ISBN : 9781539057581
  • Pages : 204 pages

Download or read book Absolute Truth written by Rod Cameron and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-09 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The metaphysics contained within the cover of 'Absolute Truth' has a logic. Metaphysical logic is logos-logic. The logic that squares with its etymology explicates absolute Truth. The successful school is absolute Idealism. Absolute Idealism has an exact ontology and a prodigious teleology. This means 'being" is precisely defined and determinism is authentic. Definitive Idealism as ontology-teleology redefines reality. The associated transcendence of dualistic consciousness means the end of philosophy.

Book excerpt: Writing their early poetry during the 1790s, a decade of European revolution, Coleridge, Wordsworth and their friends have always been thought of as 'the First-Generation Romantics'.
