Since the early 1990s, there has been a resurgence of interest in
philosophy between Kant and Hegel, and in early German romanticism
in particular. Philosophers have come to recognize that, in spite
of significant differences between the contemporary and romantic
contexts, romanticism continues to persist, and the questions which
the romantics raised remain relevant today. The Relevance of
Romanticism: Essays on Early German Romantic Philosophy is the
first collection of essays that offers an in-depth analysis of the
reasons why philosophers are (and should be) concerned with
romanticism. Through historical and systematic reconstructions, the
collection offers a deeper understanding and more encompassing
picture of romanticism as a philosophical movement than has been
presented thus far, and explicates the role that romanticism plays
- or can play - in contemporary philosophical debates. The volume
includes essays by a number of preeminent international scholars
and philosophers - Karl Ameriks, Frederick Beiser, Richard
Eldridge, Michael Forster, Manfred Frank, Jane Kneller, and Paul
Redding - who discuss the nature of philosophical romanticism and
its potential to address contemporary questions and concerns.
Through contributions from established and emerging philosophers,
discussing key romantic themes and concerns, the volume highlights
the diversity both within romantic thought and its contemporary
reception. Part One consists of the first published encounter
between Manfred Frank and Frederick Beiser, in which the two major
scholars directly discuss their vastly differing interpretations of
philosophical romanticism. Part Two draws significant connections
between romantic conceptions of history, sociability, hermeneutics
and education and explores the ways in which these views can
illuminate pressing questions in contemporary social-political
philosophy and theories of interpretation. Part Three consists in
some of the most innovative takes on romantic aesthetics, which
seek to bring romantic thought into dialogue, with, for instance,
contemporary Analytic aesthetics and theories of cognition/mind.
The final part offers one of the few rigorous engagements with
romantic conceptions science, and demonstrates ways in which the
romantic views of nature, scientific experimentation and
mathematics need not be relegated to historical curiosities.
