Friedrich Hlderlin (17701843) has long been recognized as one of the greatest poets of the German language, but his importance to philosophy has surfaced only comparatively recently. Although Schelling and Hegel acknowledged Hlderlin early on as their equal, for a long time his philosophical thought remained unknown outside the small circle of his friends. Among the most prominent figures in the rediscovery of Hlderlin's thought is Dieter Henrich, who, in a series of highly influential studies over the last thirty years, has shown that Hlderlin played a decisive role in the development of philosophy from Kant to Hegel, and hence in the formation of German Idealism. Among other things, Henrich demonstrated that Hlderlin, while still a student, launched a powerful critique of Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre and outlined an alternative to the dominant view of the foundation of philosophy. This alternative proved pathbreaking for his philosophical friends, forcing Hegel, for example, to abandon his own Kantianism and, eventually, to give systematic articulation to a position that went even beyond Hlderlin's. This volume includes six of Henrich's most important essays on Hlderlin's philosophical significance. Among the topics discussed are Hlderlin's motivation and methodological orientation in his work on German Idealism, the intellectual atmosphere of Hlderlin's student years and the philosophical problems that occupied him, Hlderlin's attitude toward any firstprinciple philosophy, and the complex personal and philosophical relationships between Hegel and Hlderlin. The last essay is a long, detailed interpretation of one of Hlderlin's greatest poems, 'Remembrance.' In elucidating its lyric composition and structure, Henrich also seeks to show how it incorporates and develops Hlderlin's philosophical thought.
