Hegel Reconsidered: Beyond Metaphysics and the Authoritarian by H. Tristram Engelhardt Jr.,T. Pinkard PDF

By H. Tristram Engelhardt Jr.,T. Pinkard

a lot of up to date philosophy, political idea, and social inspiration has been formed without delay or in some way through Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, notwithstanding there's massive war of words approximately how his paintings could be understood. He has been defined either as a metaphysician and characterised as an ironic narrator who expected the nature of philosophy after metaphysics. His place is both ambiguous with reference to his political proposal. He has been construed either as an enemy of the liberal nation and as a pal of freedom.
This volume's revisionist reassessment, development at the scholarship of Klaus Hartmann, explores those ambiguities in want of a non-metaphysical studying of Hegel's arguments. It additionally exhibits how the foundations of his political concept help a liberal democratic nation. This reappraisal of Hegel's arguments resituates him as a thinker who anticipates the problems of post-modernity and deals a foundation for reassessing ontology, aesthetics, and revolution. Philosophers and people doing paintings in political idea will locate this quantity of serious interest.

La razón de la sinrazón - Wahnsinn und Geisteskrankheit in by Ulrike Decker PDF

By Ulrike Decker

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Spanische Sprache, Literatur, Landeskunde, word: 1,3, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Romanistik), Veranstaltung: Quijote-Lektüren, Sprache: Deutsch, summary: 1. Einleitung

Was treibt einen alten Mann dazu, von einem Tag zum anderen Haus und Hof zu verlassen, sein Pferd zu satteln und sich als Ritter kostümiert in unbequemer Rüstung unter größten Strapazen auf die Suche nach Abenteuern zu machen? Wer sich durch die hunderte von Seiten haarsträubender Geschichten liest, die Cervantes Roman Don Quijote ausmachen, dem stellt sich diese Frage unweigerlich immer wieder von Neuem. Wer ist dieser Ritter von der traurigen Gestalt? Ein Philosoph, gar ein Prophet oder ein einfacher hirnverbrannter Spinner? Ob Prophet oder Spinner, eine gehörige Prise Wahnsinn gehört in jedem Fall dazu, sich auf derlei Abenteuer einzulassen. Und so scheint mir die Frage nach Quijotes Geisteszustand geradezu unerläßlich zum Verständnis eines der bemerkenswertesten Werke der spanischen Literatur, einem der Meilensteine der Weltliteratur.

Bis vor etwa zehn bis zwanzig Jahren beschäftigte sich die Literaturwissenschaft, die reichlich Untersuchungen zu verschiedensten Aspekten des Quijote hervorbrachte, kaum mit dem Thema des Wahnsinns – einem Aspekt, der, wie ich meine, untrennbar mit der individual und Charakterzeichnung des Ritters von der traurigen Gestalt verknüpft ist. Vor allem in den letzten zehn bis fünfzehn Jahren wurden jedoch Untersuchungen veröffentlicht, die Cervantes Roman unter psychoanalytischen Gesichtspunkten beleuchten und so eine weitere measurement in der Interpretation des Werkes eröffnen.

In der folgenden Arbeit habe ich mich entschieden, den Aspekt des Wahnsinns bei Quijote unter unterschiedlichen Gesichtspunkten zu betrachten. Beginnen möchte ich mit einer Zusammenfassung der veränderten Einstellung zu Geisteskrankheiten vom Mittelalter bis zur Barockzeit, die Aufschluß über den kulturellen Kontext, in dem Don Quijote entstand, geben soll und über die epochenspezifische Auffassung von Verrücktheit. Ist Quijote geistesgestört oder bewußt verrückt? – diese Frage steht im Mittelpunkt des nächsten Kapitels. Im Anschluß wird der Geisteszustand Quijotes einer examine unter psychologischen bzw. psychopathologischen Aspekten unterzogen, um desweiteren auf seine literarisch-metaphorische Qualität hin untersucht zu werden. Die Verbindung zwischen Verrücktheit und Idealismus soll im fogenden unter die Lupe genommen werden. Sancho Panza als Gegenpol zu Quijote und sein Verhältnis zu Realität und Wahn gehen schließlich einer examine des metafiktionalen Charakters des Werkes voraus.
