Friedrich von Hardenberg, who later became known as the poet Novalis, kept a journal between April and July 1797 that captured his moods, thoughts, and observations following the death of his ...fifteen-year-old fiancée Sophie von Kühn and his dearly loved younger brother Erasmus. The journal's short, day- to-day entries allow a frank and candid glimpse into the inner life of the maturing poet, and are complemented by selections from Hardenberg's letters. Taken together, and read in conjunction with the fragments written before, during, and shortly after this period of time, the journal and letters shed light on a process of self-discovery during which Hardenberg became convinced of his poetic vocation and acknowledged this conviction in an act of self- christening, as the poet Novalis.

ABSTRACT The question of human consciousness is a crucial part of Novalis’ aim of construing a self-critique of the I, or critique of human identity, as it is proposed in his “Fichte-Studien” ...(1795-1796). Namely, this question is an intermediary stage in said critique, serving as proof for Novalis’ theory of the opposites, the fundamental stage, and his position on philosophizing, the final stage of this endeavor, which will be at the basis of his whole philosophical system; and as such, it is a topic of great importance, as it is not only a link in a chain of thought which aims at proving the organicity or living heterogeneity - and not Fichte’s machine-like homogeneity - of the human but is also a key topic towards the resolution of Novalis’problem of philosophy as an existential problem. Given this, the present article intends to situate the question of human consciousness in the framework of Novalis’greater scope of a critique of the I; and from then, to comment on Novalis’own position on the problem of human consciousness, as it is stated in the formula “Consciousness is the Being outside of Being, within Being”; a position which further separates the young poet from Fichte, as it renders him closer and closer to other young idealists, such as Hölderlin or Schelling.
RESUMO A questão da consciência humana é uma parte crucial no intento novaliano de construir uma autocrítica do Eu, ou crítica da identidade humana, como ela é proposta nos seus “Fichte-Studien” (1795-1796). Designadamente, esta questão constitui um estado intermédio em tal crítica, servindo como prova da teoria dos contrários de Novalis, o estádio fundamental desta, e a posição de Novalis sobre o filosofar, o estádio final da sua empresa, a qual está na base de todo o seu sistema filosófico; e, como tal, é um tópico de grande importância, visto ser não só um elo em uma linha de pensamento que visa provar a organicidade ou heterogeneidade viva - e não a maquinal homogeneidade de Fichte - do humano, mas também um tópico-chave tendo em vista a resolução da questão novaliana da filosofia enquanto problema existencial. Assim sendo, o presente artigo propõe-se situar a questão da consciência humana no contexto maior da crítica da identidade de Novalis; e, a partir daí, comentar a posição de Novalis sobre o problema da consciência humana, como ele surge exposto na fórmula “A consciência é o Ser fora do Ser, no Ser”; uma posição que decisivamente separa o jovem poeta de Fichte, enquanto o aproxima de outros jovens idealistas, tais como Hölderlin ou Schelling.
El presente artículo constituye un estudio comparativo de la obra de Ibn Arabi y de Novalis como paradigmas del sufismo y del romanticismo, respectivamente. Desde el punto de vista de la historia de ...las ideas, ambos sistemas hunden sus raíces en el esoterismo místico de raigambre neoplatónica; desde el punto de vista comparativo, ambos recogen las ideas y problemas fundamentales de dicha tradición: afirmación metafísica de lo Uno, vía no racional de conocimiento y representación del viaje místico, preeminencia del lenguaje poético, centralidad ontológica y cognoscitiva del amor, recuperación de lo escatológico.
There are several substantial similarities between Novalis and Nietzsche. Stylistically, they both present their arguments and ideas in the form of short and concise prose (

), but there is also ...considerable overlap in terms of the general orientation of their thinking: both exhibit a certain concern for earthly nature and show an interest in the figure of the extraordinary individual, but they also have a common interest in physiology, in the idea of fiction, and in the night as a allowing for greater experiential depth. Moreover, Novalis and Nietzsche both warned of the rise of nationalism in Europe, to some extent anticipating a new form of war that eventually became a reality in the First World War. This essay, thus, seeks to outline a range of connections between early German romanticism and Nietzsche that would require further research.
A study of in the interrelationship of the sciences and the humanities grounded in the writings of Novalis in the early Romantic period, this work is of special interest to literary historians, ...mathematicians, and mathematical historians. Alongside his analysis of Novalis' fragments relating to mathematics Dyck gives commentary on previous scholarship and a history of mathematics in the eighteenth century as both science and philosophy.
Novalis, Kant, absolute, a priori, poetry. El problema de lo absoluto, en sus ámbitos religioso, político, estético o filosófico, es uno de los impulsores fundamentales del pensamiento del siglo ...XVIII, especialmente en la época de Kant y hasta el período del idealismo alemán. Este artículo intenta abordar el problema en su dimensión filosófico-estética y discernir cómo el problema del pensar o experimentar lo absoluto, en forma de sistematización filosófica, tal como fue legado por Kant y su generación, fue una de las principales preguntas teóricas. recibida por toda una generación de jóvenes autores. Para demostrarlo mejor, he elegido el ejemplo del poeta y filósofo Novalis. El objetivo es, por lo tanto, investigar cuán abierta o negativamente Novalis leyó la proposición kantiana del a priori y el edificio crítico basado en él, y hacer evidente la negación de Novalis de la posibilidad de experimentar lo absoluto, excepto en una "aproximación infinita". También se busca sugerir cuál podría haber sido la respuesta de Kant a las objeciones, específicamente una respuesta antropológica que podría haber mostrado el alcance completo de la concepción kantiana de su edificio crítico y su reflexión filosófica, que podría haber mostrado una nueva dimensión de la reflexión sobre lo humano en Kant, y por lo tanto podría haber eximido parcialmente al filósofo de los reproches de sus lectores más jóvenes. Finalmente, se quiere presentar la concepción de la poesía de Novalis y de Kant (hasta cierto punto) sorprendentemente cercana, como la clave para el problema filosófico del absoluto. Palabras clave Novalis, Kant, absoluto, a priori, poesía. The problem of the absolute, in its religious, political, aesthetic and/or philosophical scopes, is one of the fundamental propeller springs of 18th century thought, especially in Kant's time and until the period of German Idealism. This paper intends to approach the problem in its philosophical-aesthetic dimension and to discern how the problem of thinking or experiencing the absolute, in the form of philosophical systematicity, as it was legated by Kant and his generation, was one of the main theoretical questions received by a whole generation of young authors. In order to best demonstrate this, we chose the example of the poet and philosopher Novalis. Our objective is, therefore, to investigate how openly, or how negatively Novalis read Kant's proposition of the a priori and the critical edifice based upon it, and to render evident Novalis' negation of the possibility of experiencing the absolute but in an "infinite approximation". We also seek to suggest what could have been Kant's reply to the objections, namely, an anthropological reply that might have shown the full reach of Kant's conception of his critical edifice and his philosophical reflection, which might have displayed a new dimension of the reflection on the human in Kant, and thus might have partially exempted the philosopher from the reproaches of his younger readers. Finally, we want to present both Novalis' and Kant's (to a certain extent) surprisingly close conception of poetry as the key for the philosophical problem of the absolute. Key words
Ya desde el surgimiento del Idealismo alemán en el siglo XVIII se pueden demarcar posiciones divergentes entre los pensadores que conformaron este movimiento. Ahora bien, común a todos es la ...importancia que otorgaron a los conceptos de “infinitud” y “finitud”. La relación entre estas nociones fue pensada por ellos bajo la órbita tanto de la especulación metafísica como de la filosofía del arte. En este sentido, el artículo pone de manifiesto las posturas de Schelling y Novalis en lo que remite a la manera en que ambos concibieron aquella relación a través de una perspectiva estética.

Weder früher noch später dürfte es einen Individualitätsbegriff gegeben haben, der sich hinsichtlich seines Umfangs und seiner Bedeutungsfülle mit dem der Romantik vergleichen ließe.
In dem ...vorliegenden Band werden verschiedene Konzeptionen von Individualität präsentiert, die entweder romantischen Ursprungs sind oder aus der kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den romantischen Ideen hervorgingen. Ausschlaggebend ist hierbei weniger die Frage nach irgendeiner Urheberschaft als vielmehr danach, welche Argumente aus dieser Diskussion heute noch valide sind. Es soll also ein Begriff von Individualität (wieder-)gewonnen werden, der diejenigen Aspekte in sich vereint, die in der gegenwärtigen Debatte ausgeblendet bleiben.
