Research Abstract

Naganuma takes up the theme of dynamic relations between man and his environment which Goethe deals with in his Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre. In this work, man tries to put his environment under his will while feeling compelled to be one with it, thus swaying between two opposite attitudes and trying to find some compromise between them. Naganuma tries to explain these self-contradictory attitudes through his discussion of man's existence, which may be grasped in its five-stratum structure.
Fujiwara has explicated how Holderlin overcomes the Kantian antinomy with his theory of the "absolute being", the outcome of his critical examination of Schiller's aesthetics and Fichte's philosophy of reflection. Holderlin views the "absolute being" as the aesthetic principle of oneness, and characterizes it as the "harmonious-opposed". This theory enables him to set up the ideal of oneness of nature as a goal of mankind to be realized on this earth. He further considers the role of a poet and defines … More it as realizing the "harmonious-opposed principle of nature in his "idealisch" perspective.
In his Heinrich von Ofterdingen, Novalis suggests a possible correlation between the perception of the reality and man's practical activities, as revealed in the poetic metamorphosis that suggests the comming of the so-called Golden Age. Aoyama closely examines this artistic idea of Novalis', and points out the significance it bears in our age.
Sekimoto has made clear a limit of practice through his discussion of how the idea of "autonomy" of literature/art has been deprived of its critical function and come to be established as a mere institution as Bourgeois society has developed in Germany.
This is the outline of the results of our group research. Though we have reported the results of the study of each individual member separately, they share a common theme of the correlation between cognition and practice. This means that there is a prospect of the integration of these results. We are going to elaborate our achievements through further discussion between each other, and publish the final reports of our studies in book form in the near future. Less
