Jean-Paul Sartre posed this question in Les temps modernes in 1948.¹ Twohundred years earlier,Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten had provided what remains alargely neglected answer: “LITERATURE is perfect sensate discourse” (MED §9;Oratio sensitivaperfecta est POEMA). This definition lays the foundation for Baumgarten’sphilosophical approach to literature, which is what this book is about.With constant and open-minded attention to concrete literarytexts –“facing poetry,” so to say – Baumgarten presents this definition as the resultofaradical conceptualization of literature: Iintend to demonstrate that manyconsequences can be derivedfromasingle concept of literaturewhich has long agobeen impressed on the mind, and long sincedeclared hun- dreds of times to be acceptable, but not onceproved. Ut enim ex una, quae dudummentehaeserat,poematis notione probari plurima dicta iam centies, vix semel probata posse demonstrarem. (MED,[preface], 4)² In intellectual history,Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, who was born on July 17, 1714,inBerlin and died on May27, 1762,inFrankfurt an der Oder,isknown as the last prominent representative of Wolffian scholasticphilosophy. He worked in an agewhen every great philosopher soughttopublish auniversalsystem of philos- ophy, spanning all the disciplines. Baumgarten’spublications reflectthis objec- tive with his oftenenormous monographs on aesthetics,metaphysics,ethics, ju- risprudence, and epistemology.His aesthetics thus belongstoaholistic philosophical system, and it must be considered from such aperspective.But it is his aesthetics – which he initiated with his 1735 master’sthesis, entitled Meditationes philosophicae de nonnullis ad poema pertinentibus,and extended with the two volumes of his Aesthetica,publishedin1750and 1758 – for which he is best known. With these works,heestablished the modern discourse of aesthetics and gave the discipline its name. Intellectual history has thus par- ticularlysought to determine whereBaumgartenfits in the development of major facets of modern aesthetic philosophy, such as the autonomyofart,the univer- sality of aesthetic judgments, and the subjectivity of aesthetic experience. My studyaims to intervene in the traditionalunderstanding of his aesthetics by out- lining how it developed the first modern theory of literatureand discovered the Jean-Paul Sartre, “Qu’est-ceque la littérature?,” pts.

In brief, Iwant to show that as the “science of everything that is sensate” (KOLL §1;Wissenschaft vonallem, was sinnlich ist), Baumgarten’saesthetics is actuallyascience of literature. Baumgartendid not set out to demonstrate the value of literature to philos- ophy. But in workingonhis philosophical writingsand lectures,heended up an- alyzing, synthesizing,and contextualizing literature. It thereby became clear to him that aesthetics demands asensate realization; or put differently, aesthetics is always an embodied philosophy. In anycase, his aesthetics does not deal with literatureasbelles lettresorasamoral institution but rather as an epistemic ob- ject.Through his philosophicalwork, he discovers literature’sown unique ca- pacity to address philosophicalproblems.Although Baumgarten was aphiloso- pher and not aliterary critic, he was able to tackle his philosophicalproject only because he approached it as aliterarytheoristavant la lettre.His aesthetics is thus formativefor away of thinkingabout literature that would coalescein the comingcenturies,beginning in particularwith Friedrich Schlegel, who mo- bilizedthe concept of theory against the poetological tradition and wasthe first to programmaticallycall his poetics atheory.But no laterliterarytheorist would ever again match Baumgarten’sholistic view. Despite the scope and significance of his work on aesthetics, his insights into “the logic without thorns” (KOLL §1;lalogique sans épines) – amoniker for aesthetics thathequotes from Dominique Bouhours³ – werequicklysuper- seded by Immanuel Kant.⁴ GeorgWilhelm Friedrich Hegel does not even men- tion Baumgarten, and the European Romanticswereutterlyuninterested in his scholastic philosophywith its hundreds of numbered paragraphs in indigestible Latin.⁵ Baumgarten’saesthetics was thus relegated to oblivion, and his theory of literatureremains undiscovered, waiting to take its rightful place in intellectual history.This oversight is basedonasimple misunderstanding of the role litera- ture plays in his philosophicalproject.Literature was always at the heart of Baumgarten’stheoretical interests, beginning with his 1735 master’sthesis. Both his Meditationes and the later Aesthetica largely draw on literaryexamples, See DominiqueBouhours, La manièredebien penser dans les ouvrages d’esprit (Paris:Veuve de S.

PUB DATE Feb 73 NOTE 21p.; Revised version of paper presented at national conference of Association for Computing Machinery (San Francisco, August 1969) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS Audiovisual Aids; Classification; *Computer Programs; *Content Analysis; Educational Research; *Measurement Instruments; *Scoring; Social Sciences; *Structural Analysis; Technical Reports ABSTRACT Current efforts to take advantage of the special virtues of the computer as an aid in text analysis are described. Verbal constructs, category construction, and contingency analysis are discussed and illustrated. Mechanical techniques for reducing human labor when studying large quantities of verbal data have been sought at an increasing rate by researchers in the behavioral sciences. Whatever the purpose of research, if it is to have a scientific character, ti must involve an attempt to reduce natural language data, by formal rules, to measures reflecting theoretically relevant properties of the text, its source, or its audience effects. At the present time, there is no one theory or method dominating the field of natural language analysis. Although much work is currently being expended to implement a finite set of rules on the computer, little has been accomplished that is directly useful to researchers in the social sciences.

ABSTRACT ISAAC SATANOW, THE MAN AND HIS WORK; A STUDY IN THE BERLIN HASKAIAH Nehama Rezler Bersohn Isaac Satanow, one of the most prolific writers of the Berlin Haskalah (Jewish enlightenment), typifies the maskil (an enlightened Jew) of his time. He was born and reared in Podolia, Poland at a time when Frankism and Cabbalah were reaching their peak influence. He subsequently moved to Berlin where the Jewish enlightenment movement was gaining momentum influenced by the general enlightenment and Prussia's changing economy. Satanow's way of life expressed the con­ fluence of these two worlds, Podolia and Berlin. Satanow adopted the goal of the moderate Haskalah to educate the Jewish masses, and by teaching them modern science, modern languages and contemporary ideas, to help them in improving their economic, social and political situation. To achieve this goal, he wrote numerous books and articles, sometimes imitating styles of and attributing the authorship to medieval and earlier writers so that his teaching would be respected and accepted.

  • Jegór Von Sivers' Herderian Cosmopolitanism
    Ajalooline Ajakiri, 2012, 1/2 (139/140), 79–113 Humanität versus nationalism as the moral foundation of the Russian Empire: Jegór von Sivers’ Herderian cosmopolitanism* Eva Piirimäe No single author is more important for the development of nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe than Johann Gottfried Herder (1744–1803).1 Yet Herder’s own relationship to nationalism continues to be debated.2 This is partly owed to the ambivalence of the notion “nationalism” itself. There is no doubt Herder is a “nationalist”, if by this term we refer to someone who defends national diversity as valuable and cherishes and cultivates one’s own language and national customs. Yet, it is more common in the anglo- phone world to use the term “nationalist” for someone who supports one’s nation’s aggressive foreign policies. In this case, Herder is rather an oppo- nent of nationalism. There is also a third widely used notion of national- ism, known also as the “principle of nationality” according to which “the * Research for this article has been funded by the Estonian Science Foundation Grant No. 8887 and the Target Financed Program No. SF0180128s08. 1 See Peter Drews, Herder und die Slaven: Materialien zur Wirkungsgeschichte bis zur Mitte des 19.

    Christos Kakalis In the Orality/Aurality of the Book Inclusivity and Liturgical Language Abstract This article examines the role of language in the constitution of a common identity through its liturgical use at the Eastern Orthodox church of St Andrew’s in Edinburgh, Scotland. Open to individuals who have relocated, the parish has a rather multination- al character. It is a place of worship for populations that consider Christian Orthodox culture part of their long-established collective identity and for recent converts. Based on ethnographic research, archival work and theoretical contextualisation, the article examines the atmospheric materiality of the written text as performed by the readers, the choir and the clergy. This soundscape is an amalgam of different kinds of reading: prose, chanted prose, chanting and antiphonic, depending the part of the Liturgy being read. The language of the book is performative: the choreography and its symbolisms perform the words of the texts and vice versa. Additionally, the use of at least four languages in every service and two Eastern Orthodox chanting styles in combination with European influences expresses in the most tangible way the religious inclusivity that has been carefully cultivated in this parish. Through closer examination of literary transformation processes, I demonstrate the role of liturgical language in the creation of communal space-times that negotiate ideas of home and belonging in a new land.

    Inscribing Identity: Insights for Teaching From ESL Students’ Journals Jenny Miller Linguistic minority students in schools must acquire and operate in a second language while negotiating mainstream texts and content areas, along with negotiating an emerging new sense of social identity. This article presents jour- nal data from an Australian ethnographic study that explored the relationship between second-language use, textual practices in school, and the representation of identity. Such texts normally lie outside dominant school discourses, but for students they are a powerful means of negotiating identity and gaining vital language practice. For teachers journals provide critical insights into the experi- ences of their students and into their developing language competence. Les élèves qui forment une minorité linguistique à l’école doivent acquérir une langue seconde et fonctionner dans cette langue en même temps qu’ils assimilent de la matière académique dans la langue dominante et se construisent une nouvelle identité sociale. Cet article présente des données de journaux personnels provenant d’une étude ethnographique en Australie portant sur le rapport entre l’usage d’une langue seconde, les pratiques textuelles à l’école et la représentation de l’identité. Ce genre de textes ne fait habituellement pas partie du discours pédagogique dominant; pourtant, ces textes représentent pour les élèves un puissant moyen de négocier leur identité et de pratiquer leurs habiletés langa- gières. Les journaux personnels fournissent aux enseignants un aperçu impor- tant des expériences de leurs élèves et du développement de leurs compétences langagières. Introduction One of the most critical realities of contemporary education in a globalized world is the growing cultural, racial, and linguistic diversity in schools and the difficulties involved in educating and empowering vast numbers of students who do not speak the majority language.

  • 251 Chapter IX Revolution And
    251 Chapter IX Revolution and Law (1789 – 1856) The Collapse of the European States System The French Revolution of 1789 did not initialise the process leading to the collapse of the European states system but accelerated it. In the course of the revolution, demands became articulate that the ruled were not to be classed as subjects to rulers but ought to be recognised as citizens of states and members of nations and that, more fundamentally, the continuity of states was not a value in its own right but ought to be measured in terms of their usefulness for the making and the welfare of nations. The transformations of groups of subjects into nations of citizens took off in the political theory of the 1760s. Whereas Justus Lipsius and Thomas Hobbes1 had described the “state of nature” as a condition of human existence that might occur close to or even within their present time, during the later eighteenth century, theorists of politics and international relations started to position that condition further back in the past, thereby assuming that a long period of time had elapsed between the end of the “state of nature” and the making of states and societies, at least in some parts of the world. Moreover, these theorists regularly fused the theory of the hypothetical contract for the establishment of government, which had been assumed since the fourteenth century, with the theory of the social contract, which had only rarely been postulated before.2 In the view of later eighteenth-century theorists, the combination of both types of contract was to establish the nation as a society of citizens.3 Supporters of this novel theory of the combined government and social contract not merely considered human beings as capable of moving out from the “state of nature” into states, but also gave to humans the discretional mandate to first form their own nations as what came to be termed “civil societies”, before states could come into existence.4 Within states perceived in accordance with these theoretical suppositions, nationals remained bearers of sovereignty.

From the outset, the assumption was that the century was traversed by themes and tensions that in one way or another continue to dominate o ideas about European peace and progress today. These need to be highlighted so as to enable an rd adequate historical understanding of the difficulties of the present moment, including the nature E of the alternatives faced by European decision-makers today.
