Introduction: Romantic Hellenism, the Philosophy of Nature, and Subjective Anxiety -- 2. Intellectual Intuition: With Hölderlin, “Lost in the Wide Blue" -- 3. The Philosophy of Nature: Goethe, Schelling, and the World Soul -- 4. Aesthetic/Erotic Intuition: Hölderlin, Shelley, and the Islands of the Archipelago -- 5. Coda: with Byron on Acrocorinth.This book investigates intersections between the philosophy of nature and Hellenism in British and German Romanticism, focusing primarily on five central literary/philosophical figures: Friedrich Schelling, Friedrich Hölderlin, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Percy Shelley, and Lord Byron. Near the end of the eighteenth century, poets and thinkers reinvented Greece as a site of aesthetic and ontological wholeness, a move that corresponded with a refiguring of nature as a dynamically interconnected web in which each part is linked to the living whole. This vision of a vibrant materiality that allows us to become “one with all that lives,” along with a Romantic version of Hellenism that wished to reassemble the broken fragments of an imaginary Greece as both site and symbol of this all-unity, functioned as a two-pronged response to subjective anxiety that arose in the wake of Kant and Fichte. The result is a form of resistance to an idealism that appeared to leave little room for a world of beauty, love, and nature beyond the self. .PhilosophyLiterature, Modern—18th centuryIntellectual life—HistoryLiterature—History and criticismHistory of Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E15000Eighteenth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/819000Intellectual Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/729000Literary Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000Philosophy.Literature, Modern—18th century.Intellectual life—History.Literature—History and criticism.History of Philosophy.Eighteenth-Century Literature.Intellectual Studies.Literary History.820.9145Davis William Sauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut168019BOOK9910300613003321Romanticism, Hellenism, and the Philosophy of Nature1991409UNINA
