Hermeneutics Between Berlin and Paris
This volume presents a series of forays into the domain of recent hermeneutic reflection in search of an ethics for our time which, as the rupture of (post-Kantian) Berlin and (poststructuralist) Paris hermeneutics implies, cannot be reliably located in the province of either. The contributors put in the spotlight not only the problem of the disjuncture in hermeneutics between a philosophically and a linguistically informed project of understandi…
Kant and Literary Studies
Schiller after Kant
In the Briefe über die Ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen , the focus of this article, Schiller’s ostensible aim – to complete Kant’s aesthetic theory – is progressively abandoned. The article examines the reasons for this abandonment. On the one hand, Schiller’s original purpose was overtaken by events in France. Schiller found that he could no longer sustain confidence in reason’s capacity to build a durable political republic. On the other han…
The Intellectual Landscape in the Works of J. M. Coetzee
Arguably the most decorated and critically acclaimed writer of today, J. M. Coetzee is a deeply intellectual writer. Yet while just about everyone who comes to Coetzee's writing is aware that the visible superstructure of his works is moved from below by a vast substructure of ideas, we are still far from grasping Coetzee's intellectual allegiances as a whole. This book sets out to examine these allegiances in ways not attempted before, by bringi…

Aufklärung', freemasonry, the public sphere and the question of Enlightenment
That the Enlightenment was a movement reaching across at least three European countries (France, Germany and Britain) in the eighteenth century, with a similar platform in all three (social improvement on the basis of unassisted reason), is the current orthodoxy. Yet this view can only be accepted with qualifications. It is the intention of this essay to focus attention on these qualifications. A first objection lies with the fact that no platfor…

"The Critical Response to Robert Musil's "The Man without Qualities
The Austrian writer Robert Musil ranks among the foremost novelists of the 20th century. Despite a series of lesser but well-regarded shorter works, his literary reputation rests almost entirely on his novel Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften (The Man without Qualities), a life-work in the truest sense, which became the focus of all his energies and thinking from 1924 until his death in 1942. This study analyzes the principal trends in scholarship on th…
