Daniel Whistler argues that Hemsterhuis' philosophy matters and that its exclusion from the canon of modern philosophy has been unjust. This is not just because of its reception history - its influence on later German thinkers, such as Goethe, Hamann, Hegel, Herder, Hölderlin, Jean Paul, Kant, Jacobi, Novalis, Schelling, the Schlegels, Schleiermacher, Wieland - but is primarily because Hemsterhuis' philosophy contains a rich assemblage of ideas and philosophical practices. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhistler looks specifically at Hemsterhuis' reflections on philosophical style and the strategies he employs to communicate ideas in his late dialogues. Taking seriously Hemsterhuis' newly-published complete correspondence as a significant philosophical text, he contends that Hemsterhuis deserves to be placed alongside Shaftesbury, Hamann, Friedrich Schlegel, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche as one of the preeminent philosophical stylists of modernity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Whistler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399509837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399509831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.66d","brand":"Daniel Whistler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685754425599,"sku":"9781399509831","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ccd2b5a-5ae4-4747-9293-785d1fe80d41.jpg?v=1741726674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/francois-hemsterhuis-and-the-writing-daniel-whistler-9781399509831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
