Mortal Thought
H’lderlin and PhilosophyMortal Thought seeks to illustrate the artistic and philosophical contexts for H’lderlin’s poetic thought and to trace his profound impact upon subsequent philosophy, most notably Nietzsche, the Frankfurt School, Heidegger and Post-structuralism. Beginning with the point of departure of H’lderlin in Kant and Fichte, Mortal Thought outlines the novel philosophical innovations of H’lderlin, and their influence upon philosophy from the 19th century to the present day. A renewed appreciation of H’lderlin will allow us to retrieve an authentic philosophy for our own era. Mortal Thought lays out a concise, clear and comprehensive account of the emergence of H’lderlin as philosopher and poet, of his influence upon the four dominant strands of Continental philosophy – Nietzsche, Heidegger, Critical Theory and Poet-structuralism – and of his relevance for us in our own era.
