OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
‘Prophaneti teos. Hölderlin's transcendental poetic of nature'.
In the context of his reflections on aesthetic theory around 1800, Hölderlin suggests that humans, despite all their art and activity, need to respect the “spirit of nature”, “for as much as they have accomplished, [they] cannot create living beings.”
In my presentation, I will trace the perceptions of nature in Hölderlin’s evolving discourse on aesthetic theory, which challenges the prevailing notion of categorically subjugating nature to human intellectual capacities, as found in the contemporary discourse of Kant’s and Schiller’s idealism.
