Friedrich Holderlin (1770-1843) has long been recognized as one of
the greatest poets of the German language, but his importance to
philosophy has surfaced only comparatively recently. Although
Schelling and Hegel acknowledged Holderlin early on as their equal,
for a long time his philosophical thought remained unknown outside
the small circle of his friends.
Among the most prominent figures in the rediscovery of Holderlin's
thought is Dieter Henrich, who, in a series of highly influential
studies over the last thirty years, has shown that Holderlin played
a decisive role in the development of philosophy from Kant to
Hegel, and hence in the formation of German Idealism. Among other
things, Henrich demonstrated that Holderlin, while still a student,
launched a powerful critique of Fichte's "Wissenschaftslehre" and
outlined an alternative to the dominant view of the foundation of
philosophy. This alternative proved pathbreaking for his
philosophical friends, forcing Hegel, for example, to abandon his
own Kantianism and, eventually, to give systematic articulation to
a position that went even beyond Holderlin's.
This volume includes six of Henrich's most important essays on
Holderlin's philosophical significance. Among the topics discussed
are Holderlin's motivation and methodological orientation in his
work on German Idealism, the intellectual atmosphere of Holderlin's
student years and the philosophical problems that occupied him,
Holderlin's attitude toward any first-principle philosophy, and the
complex personal and philosophical relationships between Hegel and
Holderlin. The last essay is a long, detailed interpretation of one
of Holderlin's greatest poems, "Remembrance." In elucidating its
lyric composition and structure, Henrich also seeks to show how it
incorporates and develops Holderlin's philosophical thought.
