W.F.Humboldt. From ethics to aesthetics: 'the law of the highest sensuality'

The images and concepts of human language originate in sensual perception (ethics), but poetry is the "Highest Sensuality" (aesthetics). It is born in the depths of our unconscious, a kind of chaos, and - like a camera lens, poetry "brings order" - brings clarity and precision. This is the way of learning the truth of the outstanding philosopher-poet, W.f.Humboldt: from the unconscious to the conscious, from the sensual to the rational, from ethics to aesthetics, to the "law of the highest sensuality", this mysterious process that turns "the physiognomy of peoples" into "poetry beautiful face. The book is addressed to the widest range of readers interested in philosophy, philology, and cultural studies.
