Examines the rich and persistent Jewish engagement with one of the most important and controversial modern philosophers, Martin Heidegger.
Provides the first systematic interpretation of Heidegger’s relation to Eckhart, centering on the idea that we must release ourselves in order to know the truth. In the late Middle Ages the philosopher and mystic Meister Eckhart preached that to know the truth you must be the truth. But how to be the truth? Eckhart’s answer comes in the form of an imperative: release yourself, let be. Only then will you be able to understand that the deepest meaning of being is releasement and become who you truly are. This book interprets Eckhart’s Latin and Middle High German writings under the banner of an imperative of releasement, and then shows how the twentieth-century thinker Martin Heidegger c...

In a new approach to Goethe's Faust I, Evanghelia Stead extensively discusses Moritz Retzsch's twenty-six outline prints (1816) and how their spin-offs made the unfathomable play available to larger reader communities through copying and extensive distribution circuits, including bespoke gifts. The images amply transformed as they travelled throughout Europe and overseas, revealing differences between countries and cultures but also their pliability and resilience whenever remediated. This interdisciplinary investigation evidences the importance of print culture throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in nations involved in competition and conflict. Retzsch's foundational set crucially engenders parody, and inspires the stage, literature, and three-dimensional objects, well beyond common perceptions of print culture's influence. This book is available in open access thanks to an Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) grant.
The book offers an analysis of Joachim Jungius’ Texturæ Contemplatio - a hitherto-unpublished manuscript written in German and Latin that deals with weaving, knitting and other textile practices, attempting to present as well various fabrics and textile techniques in a scientifical and even mathematical framework. The book aims to provide the epistemological, technical and historic framework for Jungius’ manuscript, inspecting fabrics, weaving techniques as well as looms and other textile machines in Holy Roman Empire during the Early Modern Period. It also offers a unique investigation of the notion and metaphor of ‘texture’ during this period, and explores, within the wider context of the ‘meeting’ or ‘trading zones’ thesis, the relations between artisans and natural philosophers during the 17th century. The book is of interest to historians of philosophy and mathematics, as well as historians of technology.
Ludwig Uhlands überwältigende Wirkungsgeschichte zeigt den Dichter in der Wahrnehmung des 19. Jahrhunderts auf einer Stufe mit Goethe und Schiller. Ludwig Uhland hielt als Professor der Tübinger Universität zwischen 1830 und 1832 eine berühmt gewordene Poetikvorlesung ab, das sogenannte "Stylisticum", wo er in erstaunlicher Modernität studentische Arbeiten zum Gegenstand der Besprechung machte und damit heutige Creative-Writing-Seminare vorwegnahm. Durch diese Lehrveranstaltung prägte Uhland eine ganze Studentengeneration und sorgte gleichzeitig für einen Glanzpunkt in der Geschichte der frühen Universitätsgermanistik. Bislang waren Texte und Thematik des "Stylisticums" nur in Ausz...
