Reading Jungian metapsychology and its core concepts as therapeutic amplifications of Schelling, the author articulates an intellectual counter-transference in which Schelling and Jung contemporise each other. The book then demonstrates how Romantic metasubjectivity operates in the libidinal matrix of Romantic poetry through readings of William Wordsworth’s \u003ci\u003eThe Prelude\u003c\/i\u003e and Percy Shelley’s \u003ci\u003ePrometheus Unbound\u003c\/i\u003e. The book concludes with a discussion of the hit TV series \u003ci\u003eBreaking Bad\u003c\/i\u003e as a \"case study\" of the challenges Romantic metasubjectivity raises for fundamental ethical dilemmas which confront us in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRomantic Metasubjectivity is a highly original work of scholarship and will appeal to students and scholars in German Idealism, Romanticism, philosophy, psychoanalysis, theory, Jung studies, and those with an interest in contemporary theories of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54232486281560,"sku":"9780367439286","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367439286_f372fa97-530e-406f-823e-0405fff49ba9.jpg?v=1768633256","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/romantic-metasubjectivity-through-schelling-and-jung","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
