520 $a In this dissertation, I investigate the concept of presentation in early German Romantic philosophy. It is my contention that the most significant and unique contributions of early Romanticism are revealed through an investigation of the Romantic understanding of presentation. I illustrate that the Romantic concept of presentation offers a particular solution to the problems of Kantian dualism and show that it is through this concept that Romantic epistemology and ontology can be properly understood. Finally, I demonstrate that through a consideration of presentation significant differences between Romanticism and absolute Idealism are made clear.
520 $a The Romantics began to develop their ideas within the post-Kantian philosophical environment. The Romantics agreed with Kant's rejection of the claim that the absolute is an object or a thing given in experience. They disagreed, however, with Kant's understanding of the absolute as unconditioned, opposed to and outside of the conditioned, the world of experience. The absolute as absolute cannot be radically separated from the conditioned.
520 $a In elaborating a system where the absolute was completely distinguished from the conditioned, Kant posited a dualism which, the Romantics argued, necessarily resulted in skepticism. Skepticism could be overcome only if there were an absolute reality that constitutes the world of experience, that is, an original unity between being and knowing. For only then does knowing have access to being.
520 $a By presentation, I do not only denote the German Darstellung , but also mediation (Vermittlung, Mittlertum), revelation (Offenbarung) and the office of mediator ( Mittler). Moreover, presentation does not only concern epistemological presentation---representation, communication or exhibition of knowledge---but also ontological presentation---the self-presentation of the absolute. Insofar as presentation is both ontological and epistemological, one of the most significant themes which the dissertation addresses is the nature of the relation between being and knowing.
