Many philosophical accounts of reason are geared toward providing
rational justifications ex post facto rather than accounting for
the role reason plays in actu in the process of creative work.
Moreover, when in actu accounts of reason are given, they are
usually too narrow to describe the sort of high-level creative work
that is involved in the composition of poetry or the creation of a
scientific theory. This book suggests that the rudiments of a
broader account are found in various German Idealist figures, most
notably the philosopher-novelist-critic Friedrich Schlegel and the
philosophical poet and novelist Friedrich Hoelderlin. However,
German Idealism generally is subject to Hans Blumenberg 's
secularization critique which provides a strong prima facie
argument that the accounts of poetic reason suggested by Schlegel
and Hoelderlin are indefensible. This book argues that confronting
Blumenberg's secularization critique and his associated
legitimation of modernity with a romantic conception of poetic
reason requires revisions on both sides, and that the work of Lacan
is especially well-suited to provide the conditions upon which a
legitimation of poetic reason can be provided.
