La hermosa locura y el vértigo de los puentes de Königsberg Friedrich Hölderlin

Abstract

The paper proposes a method for approaching Friedrich Hölderlin’s Weltanschauung (worldview) conceiving it as a hinge between apparently irreconcilable traditions. Evoking the bridges of Königsberg and inviting to think Europe from a global perspective, this paper also claims that Hölderlin’s poetic production can be classified in seven dyads: Classicism and Romanticism; universalism and nationalism; Deutschtum and Griechentum; human being and divine aspiration; the visible and the invisible worlds; reason and madness; muse inspiration and fulfillment of the ideal.
