Volume 6 in this series

More Cite

For the first time, this study examines the relationships between Goethe and William James. It not only assesses the significance of the American philosopher’s reading of Goethe for the genesis and poetics of Jamesian pragmatism. It also addresses the specifically philosophical quality of Goethe’s work whom it exposes as a forerunner of Anglo-American pragmatism.

Although Franz Brentano was one of the most influential turn-of-the-century philosophers, he, like Ludwig Wittgenstein, published little but left a large philosophical legacy. This study examines the biographical and theoretical reasons for Brentano’s reluctance to publish and offers an overview of the checkered history of his philosophical legacy.

Text/Kritik: Nietzsche und Adorno

Martin Endres, Axel Pichler, Claus Zittel

Volume 2 in this series

More Cite

The articles by philosophers, philologists, and editorial scholars in this volume examine whether the “aestheticization of thinking” achieved in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche and Theodor W. Adorno should be regarded as a key characteristic of philosophical argumentation. The aim is a reevaluation of philosophical reading and the development of a philological method that assesses each text in terms of its particular nature and materiality.

Theorie und Praxis interdisziplinärer Textforschung

Volume 1 in this series

This volume compiles essays from different disciplines on developing an expanded notion of the text. Questioning the meaning and function of textuality leads to the suspension of the traditional operational dichotomy between philosophy and philology, heightens sensitivity to different forms of linguistic-aesthetic presentation, explores new practices of reading, and reflects on their epistemological implications.

Formen des Essayistischen

Paradigmen einer Schreibästhetik bei Walter Benjamin

Sarah Scheibenberger

Volume 9 in this series

More Cite

Walter Benjamin was praised as the “unrivaled master” (Adorno) of the essay, but scholars have largely neglected closer definition of the genre in which Benjamin wrote. Scheibenberger develops criteria that permit a description of Benjamin’s essayistic writings as a form of reflexivity, in which aesthetic, epistemological, media-theoretical, and ethical-political perspectives intersect.

Phenomenology to the Letter

Husserl and Literature

Philippe P. Haensler, Kristina Mendicino, Rochelle Tobias

Volume 7 in this series

More Cite

Regarding philosophical importance, Edmund Husserl is arguably "the" German export of the early twentieth century. In the wake of the linguistic turn(s) of the humanities, however, his claim to return to the "Sachen selbst" became metonymic for the neglect of language in Western philosophy. This view has been particularly influential in post-structural literary theory, which has never ceased to attack the supposed "logophobie" of phenomenology. "Phenomenology to the Letter. Husserl and Literature" challenges this verdict regarding the poetological and logical implications of Husserl’s work through a thorough re-examination of his writing in the context of literary theory, classical rhetoric, and modern art. At issue is an approach to phenomenology and literature that does not merely coordinate the two discourses but explores their mutual implication. Contributions to the volume attend to the interplay between phenomenology and literature (both fiction and poetry), experience and language, as well as images and embodiment. The volume is the first of its kind to chart a phenomenological approach to literature and literary approach to phenomenology. As such it stands poised to make a novel contribution to literary studies and philosophy.

Text- und Archivstudien zu Hans Sedlmayr

Simon Morgenthaler

Volume 8 in this series

In this study, new archival research enables a re-reading of the controversial art historian Hans Sedlmayr. Modes of citing, excerpting, and writing are analyzed in depth and examined as practices of theory formation. This textological investigation sheds light on receptive, productive, and material aspects that are constitutive for the emergence and discursivization of a scientific model of thought.
