First published in 1999, this engaging interdisciplinary study of
romantic science focuses on the work of five influential figures in
twentieth-century transatlantic intellectual history. In this book,
Martin Halliwell constructs an innovative tradition of romantic
science by indicating points of theoretical and historical
intersection in the thought of William James (American
philosopher); Otto Rank (Austrian psychoanalyst); Ludwig Binswanger
(Swiss psychiatrist); Erik Erikson (Danish/German psychologist);
and Oliver Sacks (British neurologist). Beginning with the ferment
of intellectual activity in late eighteenth-century German
Romanticism, Halliwell argues that only with William James' theory
of pragmatism early in the twentieth century did romantic science
become a viable counter-tradition to strictly empirical science.
Stimulated by debates over rival models of consciousness and
renewed interest in theories of the self, Halliwell reveals that in
their challenge to Freud's adoption of ideas from
nineteenth-century natural science, these thinkers have enlarged
the possibilities of romantic science for bridging the perceived
gulf between the arts and sciences.
