In our age of climate change, the work of the decidedly
philosophical poet Friedrich Hoelderlin has gained renewed urgency
with its emphasis on the forces of nature that produce life and at
the same time threaten to devour it. At the heart of his work lies
an understanding of nature and the role that consciousness plays
within it. This responds to, but also revises, the concerns of 18th
and 19th-century philosophy of nature. This collection of 15 essays
by distinguished international scholars reconsiders what his work
reveals about the impulses toward form and formlessness in nature
and the role that poetry plays in creating Holderlin's 'harmonious
opposition'. The collection shows that Hoelderlin anticipates many
of the concerns that motivate contemporary environmental thinking.
