Drawing parallels between new definitions of biological form in Kant's Critique of Judgment and his popular writings on Enlightenment, Reese's study reveals connections between naturalist inquiry and the political category of self-evidence around the turn of the 19th century. Pursuing this connection into Weimar-Classical era aesthetics, Reese's scholarship sets the backdrop against which she proposes to read the formal literary innovations of Mary Shelley and Heinrich von Kleist. The careful comparison of textual compositions by Shelley and Kleist shows how these two authors refuse organicist metaphor and excavate the paradoxes of Enlightenment attempts to theorize the equality of a disembodied subject. Reproducing Enlightenment traces two anti-classical poetics that arc beyond the concept of juridical and biological self-evidence to touch the dialectics and dilemmas of recognition at the foundation of social being. 410 0$aInterdisciplinary German cultural studies ;$v5. 606 $aHuman reproduction in literature 606 $aHuman reproduction$xPhilosophy 606 $aGerman literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPhilosophy, European$y18th century 606 $aPhilosophy, European$y19th century 606 $aEnlightenment$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman reproduction in literature. 615 0$aHuman reproduction$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPhilosophy, European 615 0$aPhilosophy, European 615 0$aEnlightenment 676 $a830.9/006 700 $aReese$b Diana K.$f1965-$01043566 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456755903321 996 $aReproducing enlightenment: paradoxes in the life of the body politic$92468623 997 $aUNINA
