The aesthetic alternative.
Romanticism in the face of the reception of Kantian criticism
Abstract
This paper sets the origin of German early Romanticism in the context of Kant’s reception. We focus on three debates about transcendental philosophy: the existence of a first principle of knowledge; the link between theoretical and practical philosophy; and the relationship between beauty and morality. This approach allows us to see the Romantic aesthetics as a critical theory with its own foundation, method and purpose. This sheds light on the influence of Romanticism on literary theory and criticism.
