Friedrich von Hardenberg, also known as Novalis, was a remarkable figure in the early Romantic movement in Germany. Despite his short life, he left a lasting impact on philosophy, literature, and poetry. Novalis: Philosophical, Literary, and Poetic Writings presents translations of Novalis's published philosophical works, extensive notes and fragments, two unfinished novels, and the Hymns to the Night. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Novalis not only theorized about art and its role in both everyday life and philosophical discourse but was also a talented artist in his own right. This unique edition of Novalis's writings in English allows readers to follow his ideas and themes throughout his brief but prolific career as a philosopher, novelist, and poet. Readers interested in Novalis's perspectives on philosophy, art, morality, politics, and religion, and how these areas can be unified into a single, comprehensive vision of reality, will find this translation invaluable.
