Beschreibung:
Helmut Müller-Sievers is Associate Professor of German and Comparative Literary Studies at Northwestern University. He is the author of Epigenesis: Naturphilosophie im Sprachdenken Wilhelm von Humboldts.
"This very important book provides a rare insight into the background conditions of philosophical and literary production in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by examining the debate in biology between preformation theory and epigenesis. The chief significance of Müller-Sievers' study lies in demonstrating that the victory of epigenesis shaped theory formation in philosophy (Kant, Fichte), language acquisition (Herder, Humboldt), and literature (Goethe, Beaumarchais)."--Eckart Förster, University of Munich
