  Karl Wilhelm Friedrich von Schlegel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich von Schlegel (March 10, 1772 - January 11, 1829) was a German poet, critic and scholar.
A permanent place in the history of German literature belongs to Friedrich Schlegel and his brother August Wilhelm as the critical leaders of the Romantic school, which derived from them most of its governing ideas as to the characteristics of the middle ages, and as to the methods of literary expression.
Friedrich Schlegel's wife, Dorothea, was the author of an unfinished romance, Florentin (180,), a Sammlung romantischer Dichtungen des Mittelalters (2 vols., 1804), a version of Lother und Maller (1805), and a translation of Madame de Staël's Corinne (1807-1808)--all of which were issued under her husband's name.

 Friedrich von Schlegel
From 1815 to 1818 Schlegel resided at Frankfort as counsellor of the Austrian legation to the federal diet.
Schlegel's importance lies in his numerous literary-critical writings, and in his successful efforts to unite similarly minded friends (Tieck, Novalis, Schleiermacher) into an association, the "School of Romanticism" (1798).
To establish and spread the principles of the new school, Schlegel founded with his brother August Wilhelm the journal "Athenaum" (1798); this was given up after years, but not until it had attained its object.

 Schlegel Introduction
Rather, it is that Schlegel's notion of Romanticism was from the outset predicated upon a broad, historical study of literature.
Schlegel for his part historicizes Kantian aesthetics by means of antiquity.29 For Kant, disinterested pleasure was to allow apprehension of the formal purposeless purposiveness of a work of art.
Schlegel consistently argues against a neo-classicism as it was practiced in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Schlegel then proceeds to quote two of his most important statements on irony, Lyceum Fragments 48 and 108, in full, both as an illustration of what he means by irony, and as a clear indication of the best hermeneutic strategy with which to approach the Fragments as a whole.
For Schlegel, the way to achieve such a movement is to alternate between enthusiasm and skepticism, "inspiration and criticism" (Ath 116), toward the creative artifact (or in a philosophical context toward the idea or concept), alternately affirming it as natural and true and negating it as artificial and false.
Schlegel's position on the fragmentary text anticipates and no doubt influences Benjamin and Adorno's idea of the "constellation" which as Eagleton writes "strikes at the very heart of the traditional aesthetic paradigm, in which the specificity of the detail is allowed no genuine resistance to the organizing power of the totality" (Aesthetic 330).

 August Wilhelm von Schlegel
At Jena Schlegel contributed to Friedrich von Schiller's periodicals the Horen and the Musenalmanach; and with his brother Friedrich he conducted the Athenaeum, the organ of the Romantic school, He also published a volume of poems, and carried on a rather bitter controversy with Kotzebue.
Schlegel was made a professor of literature at the University of Bonn in 1818, and during the remainder of his life occupied himself chiefly with oriental studies, although he continued to lecture on art and literature, and in 1828 he issued two volumes of critical writings (Kritische Schriften).
As an original poet Schlegel is unimportant, but as a poetical translator he has rarely been excelled, and in criticism he put into practice the Romantic principle that a critic's first duty is not to judge from the standpoint of superiority, but to understand and to "characterize" a work of art.

Berlin attributes to Friedrich Schlegel, the claim that "there is in man a terrible unsatisfied desire to soar into infinity, a feverish longing to break through the narrow bounds of individuality" (15).
In his novel, Lucinde, Friedrich Schlegel calls for a more emancipated relation between the genders than most of his contemporaries were prepared to accept, one that would be a partnership of equals.
Schlegel’s novel does provide a criticism of conventions that thwart the development of humanity, but not a reckless breaking down of conventions wherever they are found.

By a strange condition of things Friedrich was actively engaged at the moment in writing polemic reviews for the organs of Reichardt, one of Schiller's most annoying rivals in literary journalism; these reviews became at once noticeable for their depth and vigorous originality, particularly that one which gave a new and vital characterization of Lessing.
Friedrich Schlegel's philosophy of life was based upon the theory of supremacy of the artist, the potency of poetry, with its incidental corollaries of disregard for the Kantian ideal of Duty, and aversion to all Puritanism and Protestantism.
Schlegel's own pursuits as a student were prevailingly in the field of Hellenism, in which his acquisitions were astounding; his influence was especially potent in giving a philological character to much of the work of the Romanticists.

 The History of Indology and Comparative Philology in Germany, 1750-1958
Schlegel should be viewed from within his intellectual environment, which felt the accumulated effect--by the end of the eighteenth century--of more than one hundred fifty years of philosophical skepticism and historical and philological criticism of the Bible.
Schlegel's account of the historical development of religion was written as a response to the onslaught of critical histories of religion written by Enlightenment thinkers such as Hume, Tindal, and Reimarus.
Integral to this response was Schlegel's use of ancient Indian language and literature as evidence of the divine origin of language and of the one-time existence of an original and unadulterated revelation.

ISBN 0-8018-6884-X. Many scholars find Friedrich Schlegel’s Athenäum fragments to be bewildering, with their import often reduced to either introducing the genre of fragments or stressing the primacy of wit.
Schlegel’s experiments with language and its recombinations should not be understood as pure playfulness, he argues, but rather as intentional adherence to the logic of combinatorial chemistry, whose very unpredictability renders it a better metaphor for poetics than the much better understood sciences of physics or mathematics.
His efforts could perhaps be better summarized as clever synthesis rather than inspired genesis, but ultimately he succeeds where so many others have failed; namely, in applying a coherent explanation of the fragments that not only accounts for their inconsistencies, but indeed relies upon them.

 Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher
Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher (1768-1834) probably cannot be ranked as one of the greatest German philosophers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (like Kant, Herder, Hegel, Marx, or Nietzsche).
Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher (1768-1834) was born 1768 in Breslau as son of a reformed clergyman.
In 1800 he also defended his friend Friedrich Schlegel's controversial and (it is widely agreed) pornographic novel Lucinde of the same year in his Confidential Letters Concerning Friedrich Schlegel's Lucinde -- a shared proto-feminism constituting a large part of his reason for sympathy with Schlegel's book.
