Abstract

Die Beiträge dieses Bandes zum vielfältigen Werk von Karl Philipp Moritz bringen neue Lesarten der für die ‘Sattelzeit’ um 1800 wichtigen Texte, vor allem seinen ästhetischen Schriften und dem psychologischen Roman Anton Reiser . Zudem bringt der Band Studien zu Moritz’ Sprachschriften, zum ersten Mal zu seinen insgesamt vier Büchern für Kinder, auch zu seinen Reiseberichten, den Andreas Hartknopf -Romanen und der Götterlehre . Der Einzelgänger Moritz bietet einen sehr eigenen Blick auf die geistesgeschichtlichen Probleme der Übergangszeit von Spätaufklärung zur Frühromantik. This collection of 18 articles, in English and in German, on the diverse oeuvre of Karl Philipp Moritz provides new interpretations of texts widely recognized as significant to German letters around 1800 (Moritz’s aesthetic writings and Anton Reiser ). His writings on language receive welcome scrutiny, and contributors break ground on Moritz’s particular classicism, his travelogues, and his use of the sermon. Furthermore, this is the first collection to examine all four of Moritz’s books for children. Readers interested in the transitional period of late Enlightenment and early Romanticism should profit from the study of this solitary walker and the signatures of his thought.

Abstract

Karl Philipp Moritz (d. 1793) was one of the most innovative writers of the late Enlightenment in Germany. A novelist, travel writer, editor, and teacher he is probably best known today for his autobiographical novel Anton Reiser (1785-90) and for his treatises on aesthetics, foremost among them Über die bildende Nachahmung des Schönen (On the Formative Imitation of the Beautiful), published in 1788. In this treatise, Moritz develops the concept of aesthetic autonomy, which became widely known after Goethe included a lengthy excerpt of it in his own Italian Journey (1816-17). It was one of the foundational texts of Weimar classicism, and it became pivotal for the development of early Romanticism.In The Topography of Modernity, Elliott Schreiber gives Moritz the credit he deserves as an important thinker beyond his contributions to aesthetic theory. Indeed, he sees Moritz as an incisive early observer and theorist of modernity. Considering a wide range of Moritz's work including his novels, his writings on mythology, prosody, and pedagogy, and his political philosophy and psychology, Schreiber shows how Moritz's thinking developed in response to the intellectual climate of the Enlightenment and paved the way for later social theorists to conceive of modern society as differentiated into multiple, competing value spheres.

Abstract

Wer bin ich? Um diese Frage dreht sich jedes autobiografische Schreiben - auch die literarische Selbsterforschung von Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Philipp Moritz und W.G. Sebald. Erzählerisch radikal erforschen ihre Texte die Widersprüche moderner Subjektivität. Martina Läubli richtet den Blick auf die Verschränkung von Denk- und Körpererfahrungen und von Körper und Männlichkeit. Sie zeigt, wie die Aufklärer Rousseau und Moritz die philosophische Trennung von Körper und Geist in literarischer Form unterwandern - und wie Sebald am Ende des gewaltsamen 20. Jahrhunderts versucht, die Scherben moderner Subjektivität aufzusammeln. Besprochen in: Revista de Filología Alemana, 23 (2015), Marcello D. Burello
