Romantic Metasubjectivity Through Schelling and Jung: Rethinking
the Romantic Subject explores the remarkable intellectual
isomorphism between the philosophy of Friedrich Schelling and Carl
Jung's analytical psychology in order to offer a crucial and
original corrective to the "reflection theory" of subjectivity.
Arguing that the reflection theory of the subject does not do
justice to the full compass of Romantic thinking about the human
being, Romantic Metasubjectivity sees human identity as neither
discursive aftereffect nor centred around a self-transparent "I"
but rather as constellated around the centripetal force of what
Novalis calls "The Self of one's self." The author begins with a
unique reading of Schelling's early Naturphilosophie as primal site
rather than Freudian scene, thinking this site through his
Philosophical Inquiries Into the Nature of Human Freedom to The
Ages of the World. Reading Jungian metapsychology and its core
concepts as therapeutic amplifications of Schelling, the author
articulates an intellectual counter-transference in which Schelling
and Jung contemporise each other. The book then demonstrates how
Romantic metasubjectivity operates in the libidinal matrix of
Romantic poetry through readings of William Wordsworth's The
Prelude and Percy Shelley's Prometheus Unbound. The book concludes
with a discussion of the hit TV series Breaking Bad as a "case
study" of the challenges Romantic metasubjectivity raises for
fundamental ethical dilemmas which confront us in the twenty-first
century. Romantic Metasubjectivity is a highly original work of
scholarship and will appeal to students and scholars in German
Idealism, Romanticism, philosophy, psychoanalysis, theory, Jung
studies, and those with an interest in contemporary theories of the
subject.
