Description
Book SynopsisThe absolute was one of the most significant philosophical concepts in the early nineteenth century, particularly for the German romantics. This title offers an assessment of the romantics and their understanding of the absolute.
Trade Review"The Romantic Absolute is an excellent book. Dalia Nassar has a superb command of the very difficult materials she deals with and makes a strong case for the significance of 'romantic philosophy' by offering extensive readings of Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg), Friedrich Schlegel, and Friedrich Schelling. Not simply carving out a little niche but addressing the core issue in Germany around 1800, she thinks along with these thinkers, unfolding how they explore different versions of the 'absolute.'"
