W. Leibniz, and Alexander Baumgarten—in an attempt to recover alternative conceptions of aesthetics and dimensions of thinking lost in the disciplinary narration of aesthetics after Kant. This is done primarily by tracing a variety of "simpletons" that populate the writings of Kleist and Melville. These figures are not entirely ignorant, or stupid, but simple. Their simplicity is a way of thinking; one that author Birgit Mara Kaiser here suggests is affective thinking. Kaiser avers that Kleist and Melville are experimenting in their texts with an affective mode of thinking, and thereby continue, she argues, a key line within eighteenth-century aesthetics: the relation of rationality and sensibility. Through her analyses, she offers an outline of what thinking can look like if we take affectivity into account.Intersections (Albany, N.Y.)Comparative literatureAmerican and GermanComparative literatureGerman and AmericanSenses and sensation in literatureThought and thinking in literatureComparative literatureAmerican and German.Comparative literatureGerman and American.Senses and sensation in literature.Thought and thinking in literature.813/.3Kaiser Birgit Mara1794333MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973943403321Figures of simplicity4364669UNINA01244nam a2200277 450099100308215970753620250430130223.0950126s1684 it b 000 ita b14278303-39ule_instCICOGNARA-2860ExLBibl.
