Description

This revised and re-written text offers a detailed, but accessible account of the German philosophical tradition of thinking about art and the self. It looks at recent historical research and contemporary arguments in philosophy and theory in the humanities, following the path of German philosophy from Kant, via Fichte and Holderlin, the early Romantics, Schelling, Hegel, Scleimacher to Nietzsche. The text develops approaches to subjectivity, aesthetics, music and language in relation to new theoretical developments bridging the divide between the continental and analytical traditions of philosophy.
