Topology of narrative in the poetry of Friedrich Hölderlin

Abstract

Significance and peculiarity of the appearance and influence that Friedrich Hölderlin had with his poetic work, both on the whole thematic-motive structure of later poetry (indications of this turn were already present in theoretical form with Diderot, but completely deprived of their true poetic articulation until Lamartine), as well as the character of the philosophical foundation of the new dialectical reversal of thought, brought by German classical philosophy, are thematised in this paper as an organically consistent and continuous process within the framework of the indicated problem, from attempts to enter the world of Hellenism, as a fundamental source of creative unity of poetry and reality, thought and action, battle and truth, to the disappointment in the possibility of objectifying the poetic experience into a coherent basis for reconciling the contradictions of the then social and political situation, which was expressed in the existential gap between alienated everyday life and his spiritual essence, which, in the end, led to Hölderlin's insight into the futility of his own poetic testimony and the role of poetry as a harbinger of the oncoming deduction-out-of-the-oblivion of the being of the existent in its original unity.
