Abstract
Friedrich Hölderlin’s Hyperion oder der Eremit in Griechenland (1797–1799) plays with the Bildungsroman as a literary form. As a story of the coming-of-age of the novel itself, it is a Künstlerroman as well. When the narrator fails in his worldly aspirations, he chooses the life of a hermit. His book becomes his cloister. This essay will study Hölderlin's novel as a response to Friedrich Schiller's philosophy of freedom in and through art. In his letters Über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen (1795), Schiller posits a two-fold relationship between art and freedom. Art is freedom in the ideal and allows for freedom in history. In other words, moral freedom requires aesthetic freedom as a pledge to its possibility. But in Hyperion, aesthetic freedom appears as freedom itself, absolutely and without any ‘and’. History may have yet to separate itself out from life, but art does so, making a prophet of Hölderlin's Hyperion.
弗里德里希·霍尔德林(Friedrich Hölderlin)的《格里琴兰的埃雷米特》(Hyperion oder der Eremit in Griechenland,1797-1799)将成长小说作为一种文学形式。作为小说本身的成长故事,它也是一部Künstlerroman。当叙述者的世俗愿望落空时,他选择了隐士的生活。他的书成了他的修道院。本文将对霍尔德林的小说进行研究,以回应弗里德里希·席勒的艺术自由哲学。席勒在1795年的信中提出了艺术和自由之间的双重关系。艺术是理想中的自由,也允许历史中的自由。换言之,道德自由需要审美自由作为其可能性的保证。但在《海伯利安》中,审美自由表现为自由本身,是绝对的,没有任何“和”。历史可能还没有从生活中分离出来,但艺术确实如此,成为了霍尔德林的《海伯利安》的先知。
期刊介绍:
Oxford German Studies is a fully refereed journal, and publishes in English and German, aiming to present contributions from all countries and to represent as wide a range of topics and approaches throughout German studies as can be achieved. The thematic coverage of the journal continues to be based on an inclusive conception of German studies, centred on the study of German literature from the Middle Ages to the present, but extending a warm welcome to interdisciplinary and comparative topics, and to contributions from neighbouring areas such as language study and linguistics, history, philosophy, sociology, music, and art history. The editors are literary scholars, but seek advice from specialists in other areas as appropriate.
