Transplanting the Metaphysical Organ: German Romanticism Between Leibniz and Marx

The book explores the concept of Romantic Organology, a blend of scientific inquiry and philosophical speculation developed by German Romantics. It examines how this discourse aimed to address a politically and scientifically unstable world by proposing a metaphysical framework intended to transform societal structures. Through this lens, the author reconstructs the interplay between biological function and speculative thought, highlighting the significance of these ideas in understanding the complexities of the Romantic era.
