Romantic Hermeneutics Symposium
Romantic Hermeneutics Symposium
Wednesday September 26, 9.00am-5.00pm and Thursday September 27, 9.00am-5.00pm
While elements of ethical understanding are discoverable in the Romanticism of Novalis and Schlegel, one especially key moment only occurs with the intervention of Schleiermacher, who lays out what amounts to the first coherent attempt in modern thought to arrive at ethical reflection from hermeneutical presuppositions.
This invitation-only symposium brings together scholars of Romanticism, philosophy, and literature to explore and reflect on the ethical resources that anticipated, and are made available by, Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics and its inheritors.
