Nine Letters on Landscape Painting
Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869)--court physician to the king of Saxony--was a naturalist, amateur painter, and theoretician of landscape painting whose Nine Letters on Landscape Painting is an important document of early German romanticism and an elegant appeal for the integration of art and science. Carus was inspired by and had contacts with the greatest German intellectuals of his day. Carus prefaced his work with a letter from his correspondence with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was his primary mentor in both science and art. His writings also reflect, however, the influence of the German natural philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, especially Schelling's notion of a world soul, and the writings of the naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt. Carus played a role in the revolution in landscape painting taking place in Saxony around Caspar David Friedrich. The first edition appears here in English for the first time.

Carl Gustav Carus
Im Essayband der zweibändigen Publikation zur Ausstellung befassen sich ausgewiesene Fachleute fachübergreifend mit einzelnen Aspekten aus Carus'Werk und Wirken.Vor dem Hintergrund romantischer Wissenschaftsauffassung, der Carus Zeit seines Lebens verhaftet blieb, werden seine Arbeiten zu medizinischen, kunsttheoretischen, anthropologischen aber auch psychologischen Themen untersucht. Carus pflegte intensiven Briefwechsel mit bedeutenden Zeitgenossen, war als Arzt für viele Jahre am sächsischen Hof tätig und seine zahlreichen Schriften wurden auch aufgrund seiner herausragenden gesellschaftlichen Stellung bereits von seinen Zeitgenossen rezipiert. Die Vorstellung und Interpretation seines umfangreichen künstlerischen Werkes wird zudem durch die Ergebnisse technischer Untersuchungen der Dresdener und Berliner Gemälde ergänzt. The work of the scientist, philosopher and artist Carl Gustav Carus, a contemporary of Humboldt and Goethe, is described and illustrated in detail in the two-volumed catalogue accompanying the exhibition at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
Psyche: On the Development of the Soul - Part 1: The Unconscious
Of all precursors, Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869) claims the closer attention of psychology because his presentation of the unconscious shows him to be mainly a psychologist ... In distinction to the thought surrounding him and out of which he emerged, Carus describes psychological processes in detail and yet holds to a holistic view, placing the unconscious and the psyche within a meaningful universe whose main focus for him is "life." In the human, life manifests as psyche, the first level of which is the unconscious. He sees man primarily as a psychological being, through whose unconscious he is connected with all life both as nature and as that spiritual principle which inheres in and tra...
Caspar David Friedrich
Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), a major figure in the German Romantic movement, painted sublime works representing nature at its most melancholic and desolate. One of his most famous motifs was that of two intimate figures, seen from behind, gazing at the moon. Friedrich painted three versions of this theme, one of which -- Two Men Contemplating the Moon -- has recently been acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The book discusses the Metropolitan's painting in conjunction with the other two versions and a number of related paintings and drawings by Friedrich and his Dresden friends. It also presents fascinating details about the moon itself -- including what was known about it in Friedrich's lifetime and its presence and symbolism in contemporary Romantic poetry.

Thinking the Unconscious
Since Freud's earliest psychoanalytic theorization around the beginning of the twentieth century, the concept of the unconscious has exerted an enormous influence upon psychoanalysis and psychology, and literary, critical and social theory. Yet, prior to Freud, the concept of the unconscious already possessed a complex genealogy in nineteenth-century German philosophy and literature, beginning with the aftermath of Kant's critical philosophy and the origins of German idealism, and extending into the discourses of romanticism and beyond. Despite the many key thinkers who contributed to the Germanic discourses on the unconscious, the English-speaking world remains comparatively unaware of this heritage and its influence upon the origins of psychoanalysis. Bringing together a collection of experts in the fields of German Studies, Continental Philosophy, the History and Philosophy of Science, and the History of Psychoanalysis, this volume examines the various theorizations, representations, and transformations undergone by the concept of the unconscious in nineteenth-century German thought.
