"Mortal Thought seeks to illustrate the artistic and philosophical contexts for H�olderlin's poetic thought and to trace his profound impact upon subsequent philosophy, most notably Nietzsche, the Frankfurt School, Heidegger and Post-structuralism. Beginning with the point of departure of H�olderlin in Kant and Fichte, Mortal Thought outlines the novel philosophical innovations of H�olderlin, and their influence upon philosophy from the 19th century to the present day. A renewed appreciation of H�olderlin will allow us to retrieve an authentic philosophy for our own era. Mortal Thought lays out a concise, clear and comprehensive account of the emergence of H�olderlin as philosopher and poet, of his influence upon the four dominant strands of Continental philosophy Nietzsche, Heidegger, Critical Theory and Post-structuralism -- and of his relevance for us in our own era."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
