| Summary |
"Philosophical Romanticism is one of the first books to address the relationship between philosophy and romanticism, an area which is currently undergoing a major revival. This collection of specially written articles by world-class philosophers renews the tradition of 'philosophical romanticism' by exploring and enlarging its contribution to topics such as freedom, autonomy and subjectivity; the normativity of the new; philosophy's relation to its own time; memory and imagination; art and ethics; skepticism and irony; and cosmology and technology." "This collection will be of interest to those studying philosophy, literature and nineteenth- and twentieth-century thought."--BOOK JACKET. |
