3.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Cryptic, May 31, 2010

Mr. Steiner (New York) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Friedrich Holderlin (Suny Series Intersections : Philosophy and Critical Theory) (Paperback)

This small collection of Holderlin essays is a testament to the extraordinary difficulty of this poet/thinker. In this volume, we are provided with essays about the nature of tragedy and antiquity, on Sophocles, and of course the famous response to Fichte in 'Judgment and Being.' Holderlin's prose does not shine as radiantly as his poetry-sentences run on for pages with parallel constructions that go on endlessly. There is rich material here, for the few who have the patience to penetrate it. A truly significant philosophical mind and central to the development of German Romanticism.
