Covers Herder, Hanann and Schleiermacher. Author is anti-theological god delusion fanboy, Herder was super intendant of weimar clergy... pedantic. Too narrowly argued. Cant make sense of Hamann. Inessentialpic.twitter.com/LqKB25jzBc

A better book on Herder, comprehensive intellectual biographies, wider range of quotes and passages used, covers theology, discusses all of Herder’s writings and publication projects, includes extensive discussion of the Ideas. Best book on Herderpic.twitter.com/2uRaguSQzh

I hear this book widely praised in other books, but the english version feels badly translated. My copy feels cheap, cover is pixelated low res jpeg, not sure this is good reproduction of German originalpic.twitter.com/heTqYAfeKJ

Primary sources, not revelatory, good insight on novalis’ real strange psychology, diary entries about masturbation. A curiositypic.twitter.com/a0yGgkVTiA

A classic, explores the culture industry of weimar, good statistics about profession, wages, population. Covers the institutional duties of Herder, Goethe, Schiller, Fichte. Philosophical portions evaluating their philosophies somewhat out of date. Important book thoughpic.twitter.com/WAy10bpuEO

The purpose of this book is to rehabilitate Schiller as one of the main post-kantian philosophers. Excellent reconstruction of his education, reading. Discussions of his dissertations. Beiser neglects his poetry as a source of philosophy thoughpic.twitter.com/CtxuCRfAvE

Includes fragments, true crime stories and the Ghost Seer novel. Good essays for each work which explore an alternate schiller who wrote gothic novels and weird fiction instead of playspic.twitter.com/tkiEpMITe0

Powerhouse. Uses Hamann’s own intellectual methodologies to deconstruct his writings, far thinking biography. Essentialpic.twitter.com/VQB4wrhJHg
