Its exact meaning and its role within philosophical romanticism remain, however, a highly contested topic among contemporary scholars. In \u003ci\u003eThe Romantic Absolute\u003c\/i\u003e, Dalia Nassar offers an illuminating new assessment of the romantics and their understanding of the absolute. In doing so, she fills an important gap in the history of philosophy, especially with respect to the crucial period between Kant and Hegel. \u003cbr\u003eScholars today interpret philosophical romanticism along two competing lines: one emphasizes the romantics' concern with epistemology, the other their concern with metaphysics. Through careful textual analysis and systematic reconstruction of the work of three major romantics--Novalis, Friedrich Schlegel, and Friedrich Schelling--Nassar shows that neither interpretation is fully satisfying. Rather, she argues, one needs to approach the absolute from both perspectives. Rescuing these philosophers from frequent misunderstanding, and even dismissal, she articulates not only a new angle on the philosophical foundations of romanticism but on the meaning and significance of the notion of the absolute itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalia Nassar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022608406X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226084060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2014","brand":"Dalia Nassar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057293947135,"sku":"9780226084060","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b01aad9-8022-4825-8681-79470988f4ae.jpg?v=1685046140","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-romantic-absolute-dalia-nassar-9780226084060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
