Novalis Libri

Se il Novalis poeta e romanziere, l'autore degli Inni alla notte, ha goduto presso di noi di una certa fortuna, lo stesso non si può dire per il Novalis filosofo. Il filosofo ha conosciuto in Italia una considerazione poco più che marginale. Con questa edizione dell'Opera filosofica, si impone una riconsiderazione del significato complessivo della sua filosofia soprattutto in relazione al suo rapporto con le scienze. Non è più possibile parlare di una anima bella, tutta e solo poetica, che si ritrae dinanzi alla prosa del mondo ed alla positiva durezza dei saperi particolari. Il volume comprende: Lavori giovanili in prosa. Studi su Fichte. Studi filosofici (1797). Polline. Fede e amore. Lavori preparatori diversi. Dialoghi e monologo (1798-1799).
