Romantic Empiricism: Nature, Art, and Ecology from Herder to Humboldt

Dalia Nassar

4.9/5 (30727 ratings)

Description:In Romantic Empiricism, Dalia Nassar distinguishes and explores an understudied philosophical tradition that emerged in Germany in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, traces its development, and argues for its continued significance. Moving from the late Kant's notion of reflecting judgment, to Herder's articulation of the idea of "animal worlds," Goethe's explication of the obligations of the scientist, and Alexander von Humboldt's aesthetic science, Nassar demonstrates how these thinkers developed a sophisticated empirical approach to the natural world, one that focuses on the phenomenon while also recognizing the creative role of the knowing subject and the cognitive value of art and aesthetic experience. She explores how these four thinkers worked together-sometimes as rivals, but more often than not as teachers and collaborators-and illustrates how their search for a new methodology culminated in a new, ecological understanding of the world and the human place within it.Revisiting their thought, especially their distinctive approach to the study of nature, Nassar contends, will shed light on urgent ecological questions and concerns that so affect us in this present moment.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
