Art and Knowledge in Romantic Philosophy

Authors

  • Paolo Euron

Abstract

In this essay I will present some approaches to knowledge and poetics by the early German romantic philosophers. My main purpose is not a historical reconstruction of early romantic philosophy, but to point out its continuity with present thought. The essay will demonstrate that the romantic ideas concerning reality and artistic creation are still a constitutive part of western thought and a condition of our everyday experience of life and art, even if we are not aware of it. I will use two concepts as a guiding thread: the concept of reality and the concept of imitation.
