Transplanting the Metaphysical Organ: German Romanticism Between Leibniz and Marx

By Leif Weatherby

Book Overview

Around 1800, German romanticism developed a philosophy this study calls "Romantic organology." Scientific and philosophical notions of biological function and speculative thought converged to form the discourse that Transplanting the Metaphysical Organ reconstructs--a metaphysics meant to theorize, and ultimately alter, the structure of a politically and scientifically destabilized world.
