Die Frühromantik versuchte, auf ein umfassendes Gefühl der
geistigen Krise zu reagieren, das das späte 18. Jahrhundert
prägte. Indem sie den postkantischen Idealismus und den
platonisch-christlichen Realismus kombiniert, entwickelte sie einen
Religionsbegriff, der sich nicht durch Theologie oder Philosophie,
sondern durch Ästhetik ausdrückte – einen Religionsbegriff, der
die Möglichkeit der gesamten Schöpfung, das Göttliche zu
enthüllen, anerkannte. In der Erläuterung der religiösen Vision
der Frühromantik bietet dieses Buch eine neue historische
Würdigung der Bewegung und zeigt darüber hinaus ihre Bedeutung
für unser heutiges Religionsverständnis.
Presents the first English translation of Herder's foundational
essay along with critical responses to it by today's leading Herder
scholars. In recent years, Johann Gottfried Herder has been the
focus of much interest in the English-speaking world. While he was
long disregarded, current scholarship in both German and English is
revisiting his importance as an early theorist of the limits of
Enlightenment. Increasingly, scholarship is remembering that in the
closing decades of the eighteenth century Herder was one of the
most important alternative voices to Kant. Herder's Versuch uber
das Sein (Essay on Being, ca. 1764) was likely composed in reaction
to Kant's lectures on metaphysics. In it, Herder unfolds his
philosophical project, setting the terms that remained the
foundation of his work throughout his life and influenced Hegel,
Nietzsche, Heidegger, and others. Given the central importance of
the essay and Herder's increasing recognition in the
English-speaking world, it is striking that it has not been
translated into English until now. This volume presents a facsimile
of the manuscript along with a German transcription, an annotated
translation, and critical essays by the most important Herder
scholars writing in German and English today. Contributors: Manfred
Baum, Arnd Bohm, Nigel DeSouza, Ulrich Gaier, Alexander J. B.
Hampton, Marion Heinz, John K. Noyes, Wolfgang Pross, Sonia Sikka.
John K. Noyes is Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures at

Aesthetics against Imperialism.
Platonism has played a central role in Christianity and is
essential to a deep understanding of the Christian theological
tradition. At times, Platonism has constituted an essential
philosophical and theological resource, furnishing Christianity
with an intellectual framework that has played a key role in its
early development, and in subsequent periods of renewal.
Alternatively, it has been considered a compromising influence,
conflicting with the faith's revelatory foundations and distorting
its inherent message. In both cases the fundamental importance of
Platonism, as a force which Christianity defined itself by and
against, is clear. Written by an international team of scholars,
this landmark volume examines the history of Christian Platonism
from antiquity to the present day, covers key concepts, and engages
issues such as the environment, natural science and materialism.
Friedrich Jacobi held a position of unparalleled importance in the
golden age of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century
intellectual history. Nonetheless, the range and style of his
thought and its expression has always posed interpretative
challenges that continue to hinder his reception. This volume
introduces and evaluates Jacobi's pivotal place in the history of
ideas. It explores his role in catalyzing the close of the
Enlightenment through his critique of reason, how he shaped the
reception of Kant's critical philosophy and the subsequent
development of German idealism, his effect on the development of
Romanticism and religion through his emphasis on feeling, and his
influence in shaping the emergence of existentialism. This volume
serves as an authoritative resource for one of the most important
yet underappreciated figures in modern European intellectual
history. It also recasts our understanding of Fichte, Hegel,
Kierkegaard, and others in light of his influence and impact.
Christianity has understood the environment as a gift to nurture
and steward, a book of divine revelation disclosing the divine
mind, a wild garden in need of cultivation and betterment, and as a
resource for the creation of a new Eden. This Cambridge Companion
details how Christianity, one of the world's most important
religions, has shaped one of the existential issues of our age, the
environment. Engaging with contemporary issues, including gender,
traditional knowledge, and enchantment, it brings together the work
of international scholars on the subject of Christianity and the
Environment from a diversity of fields. Together, their work offers
a comprehensive guide to the complex relationship between
Christianity and the environment that moves beyond disciplinary
boundaries. To do this, the volume explains the key concepts
concerning Christianity and the environment, outlines the
historical development of this relationship from antiquity to the
present, and explores important contemporary issues.
