" In dem vorliegenden Werke sind wie in der vorangegangenen Trilogie » Drei Meister « abermals drei Dichterbildnisse im Sinn einer inneren Ge-meinschaft vereinigt; aber diese innere Einheit soll nicht mehr sein als eine Begegnung im Gleichnis. Ich suche keine Formeln des Geistigen, sondern ich gestalte Formen des Geistes. Und wenn ich in meinen Büchern immer mehrere solcher Bilder bewußt zusammenrücke, so ge- schieht dies einzig in der Art eines Malers, der seinen Werken gerne den richtigen Raum sucht, wo Licht und Gegenlicht wirkend gegeneinander- strömen und durch Pendants die erst verborgene, nun aber offenbare Analogiedes Typusin Er scheinung tritt.V ergleich scheintmirim merein förderndes, ja ein gestaltendes Element, und ich liebe ihn als Methode, weil er ohne Gewaltsamkeit angewendet werden kann. Er bereichert in gleichem Maße, als die Formel verarmt, er erhöht alle Werte, indem er Erhellungen durch unerwartete Reflexe schafft und eine Tiefe des Raums wie einen Rahmen um das abgelöste Bildnis stellt.

The Struggle with the Daemon
Author: Stefan Zweig
Publisher: Pushkin Press
ISBN: 1908968214
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
The Struggle with the Daemon is a brilliant analysis of the European psyche by the great novelist and biographer Stefan Zweig. Zweig studies three giants of German literature and thought: Friedrich Hölderlin, Heinrich von Kleist and Friedrich Nietzsche - powerful minds whose ideas were at odds with the scientific positivism of their age; troubled spirits whose intoxicating passions drove them mad but inspired them to great works. In their struggle with their inner creative force, Zweig reflects the conflict at the heart of the European soul - between science and art, reason and inspiration.

Holderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche
Author: Stefan Zweig
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351515403
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
This is the second volume in a trilogy in which Stefan Zweig builds a composite picture of the European mind through intellectual portraits selected from among its most representative and influential figures. In 'Hoelderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche', Zweig concentrates on three giants of German literature to portray the artist and thinker as a figure possessed by a powerful inner vision at odds with the materialism and scientific positivism of his time, in this case, the nineteenth century. Zweig's subjects here are respectively a lyric poet, a dramatist and writer of novellas, and a philosopher. Each led an unstable life ending in madness and/or suicide and not until the twentieth century did each make their full impact. Whereas the nineteenth-century novel is socially capacious in terms of subject and audience, the three figures treated here are prophets or forerunners of modernist ideas of alienation and exile. Hoelderlin and Kleist consciously opposed the worldly harmoniousness of Goethe's classicism in favor of a visionary inwardness and dramatisation of the subjective psyche. Nietzsche set himself as a destroyer and rebuilder of philosophy and critic of the degradation of the German spirit through nationalism and militarism. Zweig's choice of subjects reflects a division in his own soul. The image of Goethe recurs here as the ultimate upholder of Zweig's own ideals: scientist and artist, receptive to world culture, supremely rational and prudent. Yet Zweig was aware that Hoelderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche were more daring explorers of the dangerous and destructive aspects of man that needed to be seen and comprehended in the clarifying light of poetry and philosophy.

Complex Pleasure
Author: Stanley Corngold
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804729406
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Complex Pleasure deals with questions of literary feeling in eight major German writersLessing, Kant, Hölderlin, Nietzsche, Musil, Kafka, Trakl, and Benjamin. On the basis of close readings of these authors Stanley Corngold makes vivid the following ideas: that where there is literature there is complex pleasure; that this pleasure is complex because it involves the impression of a disclosure; that this thought is foremost in the minds of a number of canonical writers; that important literary works in the German traditionfiction, poetry, critiquecan be illuminated through their treatment of literary feeling; and, finally, that the conceptual terms for these forms of feeling continually vary. The types of feeling treated in Complex Pleasure include wit (the startling perception of likeness) and the disinterested pleasure of aesthetic judgment; Hölderlins swift conceptual grasp, in which the tempo of the process of thought is stressed; artistic imagination, mood, sadistic enjoyment, rapturous distraction, homonymic dissonance, and courage as a mode of literary experience. At the same time, through the deftness, range, and surprise of its execution, the book itself conveys complex pleasure. The reader will also find fascinating, hitherto untranslated material by Nietzsche (On Moods) and Kafka (important sections from his journals and from his unfinished novel The Boy Who Sank Out of Sight).

Nietzsche
Author: Stefan Zweig
Publisher: République des Lettres
ISBN: 2824905735
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : fr
Pages : 160
Book Description
«Tout esprit créateur est inévitablement amené à entrer en lutte avec son démon, et c’est toujours un combat passionné, héroïque, le plus magnifique de tous les combats. Souvent cette lutte grandiose et mystérieuse dure toute une vie. Elle prend sa forme visible dans l’œuvre de l’artiste, où vibre le souffle ardent des noces de l’esprit et de son éternel séducteur. C’est chez le créateur qui lui a succombé que le démon réussit à se dégager de l’ombre, devient verbe et lumière; c’est chez lui que s’affirment le plus nettement ses traits passionnés. [...] Nietzsche est de cette race prométhéenne qui force les cadres, brise les barrières de la vie et se détruit elle-même dans la passion et l’excès. [...] Il parle même encore en lui lorsque ces lèvres sont muettes, quand son cerveau est éteint, quand son corps est mourant; jamais l’hôte effroyable qui l’habite n’est plus visible qu’au moment où son âme se déchire, écartelée par l’excès de souffrance, et que la vue y plonge par la déchirure jusque dans les profondeurs les plus intimes.» – Stefan Zweig.

Being After Rousseau
Author: Richard L. Velkley
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226852560
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
In Being after Rousseau, Richard L. Velkley presents Jean-Jacques Rousseau as the founder of a modern European tradition of reflection on the relation of philosophy to culture—a reflection that calls both into question. Tracing this tradition from Rousseau to Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schelling, and Martin Heidegger, Velkley shows late modern philosophy as a series of ultimately unsuccessful attempts to resolve the dichotomies between nature and society, culture and civilization, and philosophy and society that Rousseau brought to the fore. The Rousseauian tradition begins, for Velkley, with Rousseau's criticism of modern political philosophy. Although the German Idealists such as Schelling accepted much of Rousseau's critique, they believed, unlike Rousseau, that human wholeness could be attained at the level of society and history. Heidegger and Nietzsche questioned this claim, but followed both Rousseau and the Idealists in their vision of the philosopher-poet striving to recover an original wholeness that the history of reason has distorted.
