From the sun-scorched Australian outback to the small German university town of Erlangen, from the vibrant metropolis of modern Dublin to the eternal cultural capital that is Paris, both this English text and I have consequently benefited from the kindness of countless people. I would especially like to thank the following friends and colleagues for their unstinting support and assistance. Their numerous scholarly suggestions and penetrating comments have infinitely improved my translation: Emeritus Professor Gerhard Schulz (University of Melbourne), who greatly encouraged me from the very beginning of the enterprise and painstak- ingly read through the entire translation and introduction. Professor Dennis Mahoney (University of Vermont), Professor Karl Ameriks (University of Notre Dame), Professor John Neubauer (University of Amsterdam), Dr. Brian O’Connor (University College Dublin), Dr. Olivier Schefer (University of Paris), Dr. Celeste Lovette (University of Savannah), and Niall Keane (University of Leuven), all generously read portions of the transla- tion and introduction. Hans-Joachim Morcinietz and the Morcinietz family, for their genuine warmth and hospitality during my stays in Oberwiederstedt, Germany. Dr. Gabriele Rommel and family, and all the staff at the Novalis Museum and Research Centre at the Schloss Oberwiederstedt, for their wonderful friend- liness and helpfulness concerning all things Novalis. Professor Dr. Renate Moering and Hans Grüters of the Freie Deutsche Hochstift in Frankfurt, for kindly granting me access to the original handwritten Brouillon manuscript. vii viii Acknowledgments I am also extremely grateful to my family in Australia, for their faith and support. And to my ever-precious friend Laure, for her constant inspiration. Finally, this translation owes very much to the late Professor Dr. Hans- Joachim Mähl, the Brouillon scholar par excellence, for his unparalleled insights, reine Menschlichkeit, and stimulus to complete the work. Note on Text and Editorial Symbols <> Entries enclosed by angular brackets were those crossed out by Novalis in his later revision. [ ] Lacunae in text or editorial additions. — The ubiquitous use of dashes instead of commas or paren- theses is a particular feature of Novalis’s notebook style. It must be borne in mind that the present text is an unfinished notebook and was not intended for publication in its present form. Consequently, there still re- main certain obscure or illegible passages and unknown references. Difficulties of this nature are indicated in the detailed endnotes. The numbering of the en- tries stems from the German editors. Novalis himself did not number the en- tries: to signal the transition to another entry he simply used a longer horizontal dash or stroke in the center of the page. Square brackets are used around entry numbers when this transition is unclear. Introduction David W. Wood The Unknown Novalis Friedrich von Hardenberg, or Novalis as he later chose to call himself in print, still remains a rather obscure figure in the English-speaking world. If known at all, it is mostly as the German Romantic poet of the blue flower, whose fiancée, Sophie, died young—and like Petrarch for Laura and Dante for Beatrice before him, penned sublime lyrical words to immortalize his beloved.1 Or perhaps one has read a philosophical fragment or two. Indeed, from Edgar Allan Poe to Karl Popper, John Stuart Mill to Martin Heidegger, it is still the height of philosoph- ical fashion to adorn one’s book with a Novalis fragment as a motto.2 But who exactly was this enigmatic young philosopher-poet? Born May 2, 1772, in Oberwiederstedt, Germany, toward the twilight of the Enlightenment, his schooling coincided with the tumultuous Storm and Stress period of German literature. Here he steeped himself in the works of Friedrich von Schiller, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and finally forged his intellectual maturity in the furnace of the Kantian or Critical philosophy. Above all, Novalis belonged to that extraordinarily tal- ented younger generation of writers and thinkers who have become known in history as the “Romantic Circle.” This enormously influential group also in- cluded the brothers August Wilhelm and Friedrich Schlegel, Dorothea Veit, Ludwig Tieck, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Caroline Schlegel, and the young Friedrich von Schelling. Gathered at the end of the eighteenth century, their in- novative literary talents generated an avalanche of essays, fragments, dialogues, speeches, and notebooks, whose revolutionary shock waves still continue to reverberate today throughout the literary, cultural, and artistic worlds. ix x Introduction Yet with regard to Early German Romanticism in our time, perhaps the most significant revolution is occurring in Anglophone and German philosophical circles. Long considered as solely a literary movement, current research is shedding unexpected light on Early Romanticism’s serious philosophical credentials.3 Un- known and unappreciated texts are finally gaining the attention they deserve. This is especially true of the theoretical writings of Novalis, due in no small part to the thoroughly revised critical edition of his collected works in German, and recent translations of these writings into both English and French.4 Now with the appear- ance of each new volume, a genuinely philosophical Novalis has started to emerge. Perhaps the most striking instance of this former neglect is the present work: Novalis’s Romantic Encyclopaedia. Incredibly, his extraordinary project to reunite all the separate sciences into a universal science lay obscure for nearly a century and a half. The text has finally been restored in accordance with his orig- inal plan, and though uncompleted, it clearly demonstrates that he was not sim- ply a haphazard thinker, or a mere writer of fragments. Novalis was also a natural scientist, thoroughly schooled in the sciences of mineralogy and geology. This too is a lesser-known aspect of his life. Not only was he an outstanding lyrical poet, and fully conversant with the latest philo- sophical developments of the time, but he worked in an altogether practical ca- pacity, as a mining engineer, valued and respected by his employers and scientific peers alike. He strove to harmonize his interests in the fields of poetry and phi- losophy with the concrete demands of working life. And this factor is also telling for his personality. He was being deadly serious when he remarked to close friends in December 1798: “Writing is a secondary consideration—Please judge me according to the main thing—practical life. I treat my writing activity as an educational tool.”5 Thus the time has come to finally overhaul our outmoded perception of him as an impractical and irrational Romantic poet.6 With his universality, it is tempting to compare Novalis to other thinkers. Shortly after Novalis’s death, Thomas Carlyle was already calling him a “Ger- manic Pascal,” since he saw in his fragments a religious, mathematical, and artis- tic profundity similar to that found in the Pensées.7 Again, with their scientific diversity, for many his jottings

  • Novalis's Magical Idealism
    Symphilosophie International Journal of Philosophical Romanticism Novalis’s Magical Idealism A Threefold Philosophy of the Imagination, Love and Medicine Laure Cahen-Maurel* ABSTRACT This article argues that Novalis’s philosophy of magical idealism essentially consists of three central elements: a theory of the creative or productive imagination, a conception of love, and a doctrine of transcendental medicine. In this regard, it synthesizes two adjacent, but divergent contemporary philosophical sources – J. G. Fichte’s idealism and Friedrich Schiller’s classicism – into a new and original philosophy. It demonstrates that Novalis’s views on both magic and idealism, not only prove to be perfectly rational and comprehensible, but even more philosophically coherent and innovative than have been recognised up to now. Keywords: magical idealism, productive imagination, love, medicine, Novalis, J. G. Fichte, Schiller RÉSUMÉ Cet article défend l’idée selon laquelle trois éléments centraux composent ce que Novalis nomme « idéalisme magique » pour désigner sa philosophie propre : la conception d’une imagination créatrice ou productrice, une doctrine de l’amour et une théorie de la médecine transcendantale. L’idéalisme magique est en cela la synthèse en une philosophie nouvelle et originale de deux sources philosophiques contemporaines, à la fois adjacentes et divergentes : l’idéalisme de J. G. Fichte et le classicisme de Friedrich Schiller. L’article montre que les vues de Novalis tant sur la magie que sur l’idéalisme sont non seulement réellement rationnelles et compréhensibles, mais philosophiquement plus cohérentes et novatrices qu’on ne l’a admis jusqu’à présent. Mots-clés : idéalisme magique, imagination productrice, amour, médecine, Novalis, J. G.

  • Friedrich Schiller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Friedrich Schiller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Friedrich Schiller(10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life, Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/johann-wolfgang-von- goethe/">Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</a>. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision. <b>Life</b> Friedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller (1733–96), and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß (1732–1802). They also had five daughters. His father was away in the Seven Years' War when Friedrich was born. He was named after king Frederick the Great, but he was called Fritz by nearly everyone. Kaspar Schiller was rarely home during the war, but he did manage to visit the family once in a while. His wife and children also visited him occasionally wherever he happened to be stationed. When the war ended in 1763, Schiller's father became a recruiting officer and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The family moved with him. Due to the high cost of living—especially the rent—the family moved to nearby Lorch.

    19th Century American Authors, Literature, Informational Texts, and Visual Representation (Correlating to Cottonwood Middle School’s 8th Grade Language Arts textbook: The Elements of Literature) Lisa Ashley Cottonwood Middle School Cottonwood, AZ NEH Summer Institute 2009 Introduction and Rationale Having participated in this year’s Picturing Early America: People, Places, and Events 1770-1870, a four-week-long summer institute on interpreting and teaching early American art, my goal for the upcoming 2009-2010 school year is to incorporate visual references to EACH of my 8th grade Language Arts literature lessons. Being a Title One, low income school, our classroom materials are limited. We do have, however, classroom sets of the Holt textbook, Elements of Literature. The text contains fictional prose from the American authors Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, and Nathanial Hawthorne. Additionally, the text also contains a nonfiction piece on Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad. Goals I have begun to build files with 19th century images of authors and illustrations of their works. These files will be available for any other teachers who would like to use them and who teach similar content in their English/Language Arts classrooms. This Power Point is just the beginning presentation of my files. National Endowment for the Humanities “Picturing America” Images Because our district was awarded a set of these images, I hope to enrich our current Language Arts curriculum by creating lessons connecting the images to as many reading and writing activities as possible. This endeavor to couple texts with images will be an ongoing, continuous process for me this year: I will need to find images of prints, paintings, and illustrations that are suitable and engaging for my students and pair them with activities that will extend and enrich our already existing texts.
