Excerpt from The Function of Criticism at the Present Time

Many objections have been made to a proposition which, in some remarks of mine on translating Homer, I ventured to put forth; a proposition about criticism, and its importance at the present day. I said: "Of the literature of France and Germany, as of the intellect of Europe in general, the main effort, for now many years, has been a critical effort; the endeavour, in all branches of knowledge, theology, philosophy, history, art, science, to see the object as in itself it really is."

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the crucial role of criticism in shaping intellectual and literary landscapes. The author contends that while creative expression holds immense value, criticism serves as its vital counterpart, providing the necessary foundation and context for great works to flourish. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century European thought, the author explores the dynamics between creation and criticism, examining how historical and cultural forces influence both. The French Revolution's impact on intellectual life and the contrasting literary climates of England and Germany serve as key examples. The book challenges the notion that criticism is merely a secondary or inferior activity. Instead, it argues that criticism's ability to analyze, interpret, and synthesize ideas is essential for fostering a vibrant intellectual environment. The author emphasizes the importance of "disinterestedness" in criticism, advocating for a pursuit of knowledge and understanding that transcends political or practical agendas. By illuminating the profound interplay between creativity and criticism, this book offers valuable insights into the conditions that foster artistic and intellectual growth. It underscores the significance of critical engagement in shaping not only individual works but also the broader currents of thought and culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330656945_0
