Reviews
This book deals with the fascinating but neglected topic of views of nature in post-Kantian German Romanticism and idealism. With impressive clarity and erudition, Alison Stone brings this tradition to life, while also subjecting it to critical analysis. She shows why it deserves our attention, and how key figures such as Schelling, Hegel and Hoelderlin should be understood in this context. -- Robert A. Stern, Professor of Philosophy, University of Sheffield
Unlike many specialists on Hegel or the early German Romantics who articulate their positions each by criticizing the other, Alison Stone's important and timely work considers the two traditions in implicit conversation with each other. Stone's essays present the full range of this rich period, with its attentiveness to the philosophically underrepresented themes of nature and gender, while also exposing its blind spots. -- Elaine P. Miller, Department of Philosophy, Miami University
Nature, Ethics and Gender in German Romanticism and Idealism uncovers issues at the heart of post-Kantian philosophy. Stone breathes new life into figures such as Schlegel, Novalis, Hoelderlin, and Hegel, placing their thought into dialogue with contemporary environmental and social justice issues. Stone's work tells the story of our alienation from and our reconciliation with nature in bold, beautiful detail. -- Elizabeth Millan Brusslan, Professor of Philosophy, DePaul University
