Without a concept of nature, Greg Ellermann argues, our thinking is limited to the world that capitalism has made. Defamiliarizing the tradition of romantic nature writing, Ellermann contends that the romantics tried to circumvent the domination of nature that is essential to modern capitalism. As he shows, poets and philosophers in the period such as Immanuel Kant, G.W.F. Hegel, Mary Wollstonecraft, William Wordsworth, and Percy Shelley were highly attuned to nature's ephemeral, ungraspable forms: clouds of vapor, a trace of ruin, deep silence, and the "world-surrounding ether." Further, he explains how nature's vanishing - its vulnerability and its flight from apprehension - became a philosophical and political problem. In response to a nascent industrial capitalism, romantic writers developed a poetics of wilderness - a poetics that is attentive to fleeting presence and that seeks to let things be. Trying to imagine what ultimately eludes capture, the romantics recognized the complicity between conceptual and economic domination, and they saw how thought itself could become a technology for control. This insight, Ellermann proposes, motivates romantic efforts to think past capitalist instrumentality and its devastation of the world. Ultimately, this new work undertakes a fundamental rethinking of the aesthetics and politics of nature"-- $c Provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 153-169) and index. 505 0 $a Romanticism and real abstraction -- Kant's remaining time -- Hegel in and out of the woods -- Wollstonecraft in ruins -- Accidental revelation in Wordsworth -- Shelley's ethereal poetics. 648 7 $a 1700-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Philosophy, German $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Philosophy, German $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Nature in literature. 650 0 $a Philosophy of nature. 650 0 $a Romanticism $z England. 650 0 $a Romanticism $z Germany. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Nature in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034680 650 7 $a Philosophy, German. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060969 650 7 $a Philosophy of nature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060845 650 7 $a Romanticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01100133 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ellermann, Greg. $t Thought's wilderness. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2022 $z 9781503633018 $w (DLC) 2021052380 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42E2A1900CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
