Description
Philosophical Romanticism explores the relationship between philosophy and romanticism, an area currently experiencing renewed interest. This collection of specially-written articles by world-class philosophers examines how romantic thought contributes to discussions on freedom, autonomy, subjectivity, memory, imagination, pluralism, practical reasoning, modernism, scepticism, irony, art, ethics, cosmology, time, and technology. The roots of romanticism are found in early German idealism, but this collection reveals that its influence extends beyond Europe. The development of romanticism can be traced through to North American philosophy, including the work of Emerson and Dewey, as well as contemporary thinkers such as Stanley Cavell and Richard Rorty. This outstanding collection offers a compelling alternative to both naturalistic tendencies in analytic philosophy and deconstructive approaches found in continental philosophy. This book will be of interest to those studying philosophy, literature, and 19th-20th century thought.
