The Enlightenment ended when Kant questioned our ability to know the world in itself. In response, Romantic philosopher-poets invented 鈥渢he environment.鈥� This course traces the evolution of the concept from early 19th-century 鈥渘ature philosophy鈥� and fantastic tales to present day politics. We examine how the Romantics鈥� metaphysical lens prompted new approaches to science and art by blending poetics with geodata and observation with the occult. Students will use the fluid perspective of these Romantic 鈥淲orld Views鈥� to reflect on our present crisis. Authors include Goethe, Schelling, Alexander von Humboldt, Novalis, Adalbert Stifter, Kleist, Haeckel, ETA Hoffmann, Hegel and Rudolf Steiner.
