Infinitely Complex and Mystifying,

This review is from: Notes for a Romantic Encyclopaedia: Das Allgemeine Brouillon (Suny Series, Intersections: Philosophy and Critical Theory) (Hardcover)
The Notes for a Romantic Encyclopedia remains one of the great-unstudied and under appreciated texts of the Romantic period. Novalis attempted to extend mathematical potentiation to all domains of knowledge-to 'raise them to a higher power' in order to unify them and understand their intrinsic relatedness. This is one of the great synthesizing texts in the philosophical tradition. The entries in this volume cover an absurd range of disciplines, from chemistry and mineralogy to poetry. It is impossible to fully understand this incomplete and highly fragmented work, but it is nevertheless entirely necessary in order to grasp what the project of German Romanticism actually was.
