Synopsis
This book shows Christoph Martin Wielanda (TM)s independent position in the literature and culture of around 1800 in a new way: Wielanda (TM)s work describes a significant knowledge transfer between the Early Modern Age and the Modern Age. This is achieved by a double reference to the knowledge base of the Enlightenment on the one hand and to the philosophical and aesthetic tradition of antiquity on the other hand. The humanist-educated academic world, religion and the narrative and rhetorical situation of the collected knowledge developa ' especially in the late worksa ' into a productive tension with the processes of handing down the knowledge, the conveyance, reworking and translation of this knowledge as well as the dynamics of preservation and a oemodernizationa .
Synopsis
Der Band zeigt Christoph Martin Wielands eigenstandige Position in Literatur und Kultur um 1800 auf neue Weise: In doppelter Bezugnahme auf die aufklarerischen Wissensbestande einerseits, auf antike philosophische und asthetische Traditionen andererseits beschreibt Wielands Werk einen bedeutenden Wissenstransfer zwischen Fruher Neuzeit und Moderne. Die humanistisch-gelehrte Bildungswelt, die Religion und die narrative und rhetorische Verfasstheit der Wissensbestande geraten vor allem im Spatwerk in eine produktive Spannung zu den Verfahren des Tradierens, den Um-, Neu- und Ubersetzungen dieses Wissens sowie der Dynamik von Bewahrung und 'Modernisierung'.
