The Modernity Problem from Friedrich Schlegel's Romantic Perspective
The development of Friedrich Schlegel's early philosophy-literature theory fully embodies the profundity and complexity of early romanticism's criticism of modernity.First of all,he criticized that modern culture adhered to the principles of analysis and reflection,which led to the disenchantment of nature and the alienation between man and nature.Later,he reevaluated the modern rational form.By transforming rational reflection into the irony of romantic poems,he not only maintained the reflective and critical nature of rationality,but also transformed this negative force into a positive force that allowed the true nature to constantly emerge.In romantic poems based on irony,nature is no longer a set of rigid materials constructed by quantitative and analytical rationality,but a living and creative reality.Schlegel's idea of romantic poetry broke through the dichotomy between ancient and modern,criticized the division and alienation of the modern world,and upheld the ideal of harmony and unity between man and nature shown in ancient Greek works of art.At the same time,he realized that human beings must be separated from this primitive harmonious state,in order to finally reach a higher state of harmony and unity when human reason and all other natural endowments are fully developed.
