Includes bibliographical references

This study demonstrates in detail that the creative imagination is the unifying principle in Novalis' literary and philosophical writings. Novalis' works deal with the subject of developing the faculty of imagination in order to experience one's harmony with nature and to express this harmony in Poesie. Thus, the creative imagination becomes a medium for acquiring an aesthetic world view that transforms the poet's life into art.

520 $a This study demonstrates in detail that the creative imagination is the unifying principle in Novalis' literary and philosophical writings. Novalis' works deal with the subject of developing the faculty of imagination in order to experience one's harmony with nature and to express this harmony in Poesie. Thus, the creative imagination becomes a medium for acquiring an aesthetic world view that transforms the poet's life into art.
520 $a Chapter II of this work describes those aspects of the writings of Kant, Fichte, and Hemsterhuis that shaped Novalis' ideas on imagination.
520 $a Chapter III analyzes Novalis' theory of magical idealism and demonstrates through copious textual citations that its basic tenet is the guided development of the creative imagination. It further shows that Novalis' ideas on creative imagination culminate in his theory of Poesie. Chapter IV discusses the presence of the above ideas in Novalis' literary works, Die Lehrlinge zu Sais and Heinrich von Ofterdingen.
520 $a Chapter V describes the nature and function of the imaginative dream reality present in Heinrich von Ofterdingen. The dreams, visions and fairy tales in this novel are interpreted as cosmic reveries producing poetic images that are archetypal symbols of wholeness. Heinrich's Bildung consists in essentially learning to dream, so that he experiences the poetic images created in his reverie as real, or again he experiences himself as a part of nature. Through this "play" of imagination, Heinrich recovers his harmony with nature.
520 $a Chapter VI discusses the interfusion of the real and the Marchenwelt in Part II of Heinrich von Ofterdingen. The integration of the imaginative vision with the ordinary perception transforms Heinrich into a poet. As a poet, he transcends the barriers of time and space, and communes with his dead beloved in the imagined dream reality created by him.
520 $a Chapter VII describes Novalis' theory of poetic ethics, as illustrated in the aforementioned work. Novalis regards the poet as a truly virtuous man, because all his actions are based on his feeling of oneness with the world. The poet is not an isolated individual lost in his subjective reveries, but, on the contrary, he is an active member of society, who transforms his life into art through imaginative "visioning" of the world. . . .
