Examines how Early German Romanticism combined post-Kantian idealism and Platonic-Christian realism to develop a new aesthetics of religion.

Recenzje

'The main thesis of Hampton's book is compelling … Hampton does a great service to the history of this period by explaining exactly how disputes over Spinoza and Fichte indelibly shaped a new generation of philosophers, artists, and poets in their mission to rearticulate the terms of a viable modern religiosity.' Evan Kuehn, Reading Religion
