The absolute was one of the most significant philosophical concepts
in the early nineteenth century, particularly for the German
romantics. Its exact meaning and its role within philosophical
romanticism remain, however, a highly contested topic among
contemporary scholars. In The Romantic Absolute, Dalia Nassar
offers an illuminating new assessment of the romantics and their
understanding of the absolute. In doing so, she fills an important
gap in the history of philosophy, especially with respect to the
crucial period between Kant and Hegel. Scholars today interpret
philosophical romanticism along two competing lines: one emphasizes
the romantics' concern with epistemology, the other their concern
with metaphysics. Through careful textual analysis and systematic
reconstruction of the work of three major romantics - Novalis,
Friedrich Schlegel, and Friedrich Schelling - Nassar shows that
neither interpretation is fully satisfying. Rather, she argues, one
needs to approach the absolute from both perspectives. Rescuing
these philosophers from frequent misunderstanding, and even
dismissal, she articulates not only a new angle on the
philosophical foundations of romanticism but on the meaning and
significance of the notion of the absolute itself.
