Recenzje

Erudite, eloquent, and cogently argued, Dalia Nassar's brilliant new book challenges many engrained assumptions about European romanticism to make a compelling case for both the historical novelty of the romantic empiricism that she identifies in the work of Kant, Herder, Goethe and Humboldt, and of its continuing relevance to current discussions of epistemology and ontology, aesthetics and ethics, corporeality and cognition, affect and judgement, above all with respect to ecological thinking and the urgent global challenges to which it is called to respond. Romantic Empiricism is no less original and important than the new ways of knowing, valuing and engaging with the natural world that Nassar reconstructs within German romanticism. Whatever you think you know about the Romantic period and its historical legacies, this book is bound to make you think again.
