Forces of Nature

Dynamism and Agency in German Romanticism

About this book

Um 1800 diskutierte man ĂŒber NaturkrĂ€fte in verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen und kĂŒnstlerischen ZusammenhĂ€ngen: Anziehung und Abstoßung, LebenskrĂ€fte und elektrische Ströme, der "Bildungstrieb" und biologische Organismen wurden als KrĂ€fte untersucht, die sich auf "natĂŒrliche" Prozesse zurĂŒckfĂŒhren lassen. Literatur, Wissenschaft und Philosophie der deutschsprachigen Romantik von Schelling bis zu GĂŒnderrode und Hölderlin arbeiteten sich an Konzepten von KrĂ€ften ab, die als dynamisch und in bestĂ€ndiger TĂ€tigkeit begriffen wurden – KrĂ€fte, die auch menschliche Handlungen, soziale Strukturen und kulturelle Entwicklungen einzuschließen schienen. Der Band erkundet Vor- und Darstellungen von NaturkrĂ€ften in der Romantik an der Schnittstelle von Naturwissenschaft und kulturellen Vorstellungswelten.
