Thinking the Poetic Measure of Justice
A new reading of justice engaging the work of two philosophical poets who stand in conversation with the work of Martin Heidegger. What is the measure of ethics? What is the measure of justice? And how do we come to measure the immeasurability of these questions? Thinking the Poetic Measure of Justice situates the problem of justice in the interdisciplinary space between philosophy and poetry in an effort to explore the sources of ethical life in a new way. Charles Bambach engages the works of two philosophical poets who stand as the bookends of modernityFriedrich Hölderlin (17701843) and Paul Celan (19201970)offering close textual readings of poems from each that define and express...

Zäsuren / Caesurae
Ein Sammelband zu Celans einzigem Israel-Besuch 1969 mit Beiträgen zu der Frage, wie diese »Wende« und »Zäsur« für sein Leben und Werk zu verstehen sind. Im Oktober 1969 besuchte Paul Celan Israel zum ersten und einzigen Mal und nannte diesen Besuch danach »eine Wende, eine Zäsur« in seinem Leben. Wie ist diese Zäsur zu verstehen, und was ist ihre Bedeutung für Celans Spätwerk? NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen und etablierte ForscherInnen im Bereich der internationalen Celan-Forschung gehen diesen Fragen nach und eröffnen neue Zugänge zu Celans Israel-Besuch sowie zu den Gedichten, die Celan nach der Rückkehr in Paris schrieb und die sich explizit auf diese Reise beziehen.

Friedrich Schleiermacher’s Pathways of Translation
This interdisciplinary study introduces readers to Friedrich Schleiermacher’s diverse pathways of reflection and creative practice that are related to the field of translation. By drawing attention to Schleiermacher’s various writings on a range of subjects (including philology, criticism, hermeneutics, dialectics, rhetoric and religion), the author makes it clear that the frequently cited lecture Über die verschiedenen Methoden des Übersetzens (On the Different Methods of Translating) represents but a fraction of Schleiermacher’s contributions to modern-day insights into translation. The analysis of Schleiermacher’s various pathways of reflection on translation presented in this b...
A Crimson Line to the Bright Horizon
Fereshte Teyfouri's writings focussing on Sufi thought and mystical concepts are presented with the original Persian texts and an English translation to introduce her poignant view of existence to a wider audience. The poetic miniatures muse on existentialist concepts, stemming from the perspective of her life in Iran and later Germany - and a visceral sense of not belonging - but with the dilemmas of alienation and displacement counterbalanced by the sentiments being expressed using Sufi terms, but sometimes from the standpoint of inanimate objects: tar, blotting paper, the cleansing nature of an eraser. Fereshte Teyfouri, lecturer in Persian at the Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat, Munster, Persian author and editor, translator for the German courts. Natalie H. Shokoohy (translator) architectural historian.
Art, Nature, and Self-Formation in the Age of Goethe
This volume looks to core ideas defining Goethe’s work and his influence on his contemporaries and inheritors. Contributions to this volume explore his impact through ideas of organic and aesthetic formation; methods of biology, reason, becoming, and Bildung; modes of self-conscious comportment to nature, art, and the self; and conceptions of finitude and divinity. This volume underscores the interdisciplinary impact of Goethe’s thought and work. Of particular note is Goethe's unified and non-reductive account of nature, human education, social life, and reason. These contributions shed light on how Goethe's thought furthers the methodological sciences of his day while yielding resources for the grounding of theories of art in principles of idealism as well as imminent critiques of idealism through insights about organic formation and activity. The result is a compelling sense of unity through plurality. Contributors: James Conant, Richard Eldridge, Camilla Flodin, Michael Forster, Gerad Gentry, Keren Gorodeisky, Johannes Haag, Joel Lande, Lara Ostaric, Mattias Pirholt, Anne Pollok, Karin Schutjer, Allen Speight, Joan Steigerwald, Violetta Waibel, David Wellbery.
Erfüllungspoetiken
Sebastian Lübcke untersucht philosophische und literarische Auseinandersetzungen mit der Erfüllung und dem ontologisch Absoluten vom 18. bis ins 20. Jahrhundert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass Texte, die sich in der Neuzeit mit dem ‚Göttlichen‘ oder dem ‚ewigen Leben‘ befassen, trotz ihrer mitunter antichristlichen Programmatiken immer wieder von ‚klassischen‘ christlichen Denk- und Darstellungsfiguren eingeholt werden. An einer ‚erfüllungspoetischen‘ Traditionslinie von Klopstock, Hölderlin, Rückert, George und den Surrealisten legt der Autor dar, wie in Lyrik und Poetik der Anspruch erhoben wird, die erfüllte Zeit des ‚ewigen Lebens‘ – nach der je eigenen Vorstellung der Autoren freilich – in der ‚ästhetischen Eigenzeit‘ der Gedichte realsymbolisch gegenwärtig zu machen.
The Struggle for Democracy
Revolutionaries, counter-revolutionaries, and reformers the world over appeal to democracy to justify their actions. But when political factions compete over the right to act in "the people's" name, who is to decide? Although the problem is as old as the great revolutions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, events from the Arab Spring to secession referendums suggest that today it is hardly any closer to being solved. This book defends a new theory of democratic legitimacy and change that provides an answer. Christopher Meckstroth shows why familiar views that identify democracy with timeless principles or institutions fall into paradox when asked to make sense of democratic foundin...
The Form of Becoming
The Form of Becoming offers an innovative understanding of the emergence around 1800 of the science of embryology and a new notion of development, one based on the epistemology of rhythm. It argues that between 1760 and 1830, the concept of rhythm became crucial to many fields of knowledge, including the study of life and living processes. The book juxtaposes the history of rhythm in music theory, literary theory, and philosophy with the concurrent turn in biology to understanding the living world in terms of rhythmic patterns, rhythmic movement, and rhythmic representations. Common to all these fields was their view of rhythm as a means of organizing time — and of ordering the development...
