Heidegger, Holderlin, and the Subject of Poetic Language

More about the book

Heidegger's interpretations of Hölderlin's poetry significantly influence both his philosophy and the reception of Hölderlin's work. Gosetti-Ferencei critiques this perspective, suggesting that Heidegger neglects essential components of Hölderlin's poetics, particularly a Kantian view of aesthetic subjectivity and Enlightenment ideals. She contends these elements counterbalance Heidegger's troubling political interpretations, which emphasize nationalism and a sense of German identity, offering a more nuanced understanding of Hölderlin's contributions.
