Origins of German Romanticism
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
Are art and philosophy irreconcilable? Since Plato, western thinkers have tended to uphold philosophy as the domain of reason and objective inquiry, and art as belonging to the sphere of the non-rational—as the instigator, even, of counter-rational emotions and passions, subjective flights of fancy and imagination. For the members of the so-called Frühromantik, or early German romantic movement, the truth was exactly the opposite: Art...
Bach: Music and Transcendence
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
For many listeners, Johann Sebastian Bach is the authoritative standard by which all other composers are judged. His music is often considered both timeless and universal. But Bach’s very preeminence makes it hard to see him clearly—to discern the human face behind the “face of classical music.” A musical prodigy, uncooperative employee, conscientious craftsman, international celebrity, and deep religious believer, Bach made music both of...

Music, Revolution, Romantic Culture: Intro to Beethoven
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
Music, Revolution, and Romantic Culture: an Introduction to Beethoven Few composers have been more discussed, analyzed, or mythologized than Beethoven. For two centuries the power and inventiveness of his music have not only kept it at the center of the canon, but have shaped our ideas about the nature and potentialities of music itself, inspiring and provoking artists, philosophers, and political parties alike. Musical factions from the classicist...
What is Analytic Philosophy?
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ 247 West 37th St, New York, NY
In the early 20th century, a new generation of thinkers came to believe that European philosophy had reached a dead end. Reacting to what they held was the obfuscatory language and non-sensical direction of post-Kantian philosophy, Cambridge philosophers Bertrand Russell and G.E. Moore set out to revolutionize philosophy through a fundamental rethinking of its methods and purposes. Their work, and its outgrowths in the philosophies of mathematics,...
Madness: Society and the Psyche
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
From the start, Western philosophy, literature, and medicine have been preoccupied—and haunted—with the figure of the mad and the idea of madness. What lies at the root of seemingly strange irruptions of emotion, speech, and erratic behavior? Do they arise by happenstance, or are they symptoms of disturbances in the body, the mind, the psyche, the soul, humours, and the like? Does the behavior of the mad reveal secret messages, canny prophecies,...
Carl Schmitt: Political Theology
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
In recent decades, there has been a surprising resurgence of interest in the work of the Nazi jurist and political theorist Carl Schmitt. From neoconservative doctrines of the “unitary executive” to many strands of non-Marxist leftist thought, Schmitt’s ideas have found new purchase in our contemporary political landscape. Schmitt was a towering figure in the Weimar period. Next to Martin Heidegger, he stands as perhaps the most important and...
Carl Schmitt: Politics and Conflict
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
“The specific distinction to which political motives can be reduced is that between friend and enemy.” With this claim, Carl Schmitt outlined one of the most incisive understandings of political thought in modern times, a theory of politics as something distinct from questions of morality (good or evil) or aesthetics (beauty and ugliness). In recent decades, there has been a resurgence of interest in the work of the Nazi jurist and political...

Knowing Your Ego/ Finding Your Heart-Centered Truth
