This is the fifth volume in a six-volume translation of the
major writings of Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911), a philosopher and
historian of culture who has had a significant, and continuing,
influence on twentieth-century Continental philosophy and in a
broad range of scholarly disciplines. In addition to his landmark
works on the theories of history and the human sciences, Dilthey
made important contributions to hermeneutics and phenomenology,
aesthetics, psychology, and the methodology of the social
sciences.
This volume presents Dilthey's principal writings on aesthetics
and the philosophical understanding of poetry, as well as
representative essays of literary criticism. The essay "The
Imagination of the Poet" (also known as his "Poetics") is his most
sustained attempt to examine the philosophical bearings of
literature in relation to psychological and historical theory. Also
included are "The Three Epochs of Modern Aesthetics and its Present
Task," "Fragments for a Poetics," and two final essays discussing
Goethe and Holderlin. The latter are drawn from "Das Erlebnis und
die Dichtung," a volume that was acclaimed on publication as a
classic of literary criticism and that continues to be a model for
the "geistesgeschichtliche "approach to literary history."
