Description An English translation of Novalis' critique of Fichtean philosophy.
This volume presents the first complete translation of Fichte Studies, a powerful, creative and sustained critique of Fichtean philosophy by the young philosopher-poet Friedrich von Hardenberg, who under the pen-name Novalis went on to become the most well-known and beloved of the early German Romantic writers. Anyone interested in the fate of German philosophy and literature immediately after Kant will find this collection of notes and aphorisms a treasure-trove of original contributions on the nature of self-consciousness, the relation of art to philosophy, and the nature of philosophical inquiry. There are also the beginnings of a strikingly contemporary-sounding semiotic theory. The text is translated by Jane Kneller, who also provides an introduction situating the Fichte Studies in the context of Novalis' life and work.
Friedrich von Hardenberg, who wrote under the pen name Novalis, died at the age of 29 in 1801. He had contracted consumption, but his death might have been accelerated due to the shock of the sudden death of his fourteen-year-old brother. His "Hymns to the Night" is considered one of the great pillars of German Romanticism.
