By Jeffrey Reid

Hegel's critique of Early German Romanticism and its thought of irony resonates to the middle of his personal philosophy within the related approach that Plato's polemics with the Sophists have repercussions that visit the centre of his idea. The Anti-Romantic examines Hegel's critique of Fr. Schlegel, Novalis and Schleiermacher. Hegel infrequently mentions those thinkers by means of identify and the texts facing them frequently exist at the outer edge of his oeuvre. still, separately, they symbolize embodiments of particular types of irony: Schlegel, a sort of serious individuality; Novalis, a kind of soppy nihilism; Schleiermacher, a gigantic hybrid of the opposite .

The energy of Hegel's polemical method of those authors indicates how irony itself represents for him a chronic possibility to his personal suggestion of systematic technological know-how. this can be so, we find, simply because Romantic irony is greater than a rival ideology; it really is a precise type of discourse, one whose performative objectivity interferes with the objectivity of Hegel's personal logos. therefore, Hegel's critique of irony permits us to reciprocally discover a Hegelian idea of medical discourse. faraway from seeing irony as a kind of realization triumph over by means of Spirit, Hegel sees it as having turn into a urgent function of his personal modern global, as witnessed within the approval for his Berlin rival, Schleiermacher. eventually, to the level that ironic discourse turns out, for Hegel, to suggest a undeniable global past his personal inspiration of modernity, we're left with the speculation that Hegel's critique of irony can be seen as a critique of post-modernity.
