DESCRIPTION:
Infinitely Complex and Mystifying The Notes for a Romantic Encyclopedia remains one of the great-unstudied and under appreciated texts of the Romantic period. Novalis attempted to extend mathematical potentiation to all domains of knowledge-to 'raise them to a higher power' in order to unify them and understand their intrinsic relatedness. This is one of the great synthesizing texts in the philosophical tradition. The entries in this volume cover an absurd range of disciplines, from chemistry and mineralogy to poetry. It is impossible to fully understand this incomplete and highly fragmented work, bu. John H. Moses, Jr. said Novalis.

Coppedge For the Novalis scholar or enthusiast, this may be a valuable alternative to the Philosophical Writings. Views on science and many original categories like encyclopedistics and philosophical physics are introduced, Although I found the aphorisms are not as interesting on average in comparison to the other text, this text offers a goldmine of logical insights, including some of the first writings on Objective Coherentism.

In it, Novalis reflects on numerous aspects of human culture, including philosophy, poetry, the natural sciences, the fine arts, mathematics, mineralogy, history, and religion, and brings them all together into what he calls a Romantic Encyclopaedia or Scientific Bible.
