This comparative view of modernism employs tools from intellectual history, literary analysis, and philosophical critique, focusing on the Italian reception of German idealist thought from the mid-1800s to the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eModernist Idealism\u003c\/i\u003e intervenes in ongoing debates about the nineteenth- and twentieth-century resurgence of materialism and spiritualism, as well as the relation of decadent, avant-garde, and modernist production. Michael J. Subialka aims to open new discursive space for the philosophical study of modernist literary and visual culture, considering not only philosophical and literary texts but also early cinema. The author\u0026amp;#x2019;s main contention is that, in various media and with sometimes radically different political and cultural aims, a host of modernist artists and thinkers can be seen as sharing in a project to realize idealist philosophical worldviews in aesthetic form. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eModernist Idealism Revitalizing Italy\u003cbr\u003eD'Annunzio and Shimoi, Italy and Japan: A Case of Modernist Idealism\u003cbr\u003eModernism, Idealism, and Modernist Idealism\u003cbr\u003eThe Artistic Fruition of Idealism: Vitalism, Spiritualism, and the New Materialism\u003cbr\u003eItalian Modernity and Modernist Idealism: A Transnational Paradigm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter One \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eItaly at the Banquet of Nations: Hegel in Politics and Philosophy\u003cbr\u003ePhilosophy, Nationality, and a New Italy: Hegel Comes to Naples\u003cbr\u003eHegelian Idealism as a Response to Modern Crisis: History, Nationality, and the State\u003cbr\u003eModernity and Spiritual Renewal: Italian Modernism and Hegelian Idealism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eItaly\u0026amp;#x2019;s Modernist Idealism and the Artistic Reception of Schopenhauer\u003cbr\u003eAlternative Ideals: From Hegel to Schopenhauer\u003cbr\u003eSchopenhauer in Italy: De Sanctis and His Philosophical and Cultural Reception\u003cbr\u003eThe Other Side of Modernist Idealism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAesthetic Decadence and Modernist Idealism: Schopenhauer\u0026amp;#x2019;s Literary-Artistic Legacy \u003cbr\u003eAestheticism and the Decadent Imagination: Art as an Alternative to Modern Deadness\u003cbr\u003eA Sublime Death: Suicide and Decadent Aestheticism\u003cbr\u003eAmbivalent Idealism: Ascetic Aestheticism and Modernist Renewal\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAvant-Garde Idealism: The Ambivalence of Futurist Vitalism \u003cbr\u003eFuturist Lebensphilosophie: Practical and Mystical Revitalization\u003cbr\u003eModernist Mysticism: A Dangerous Ideal(ism)\u003cbr\u003eFuturist Ambivalence and Modernist Idealism: The Case of Bruno Corra\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Five\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOccult Spiritualism and Modernist Idealism: Reanimating the Dead World\u003cbr\u003eOccult Irrationality and Material Positivism: Spirits at the Juncture in Deledda, Capuana, and Pirandello\u003cbr\u003eSpiritual Creation and Modernist Idealism\u003cbr\u003eModernist Idealism and the Long Durée\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Six\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCinematic Idealism: Modernist Visions of Spiritual Vitality Mediated by the Machine\u003cbr\u003eCinematic Idealism: Existential Thought Experiments and the Vision of Photogénie\u003cbr\u003eSeeing Vital Rhythm: An Irrational Ideal in the Cinema of Futurism and Pirandello\u003cbr\u003eCinematic Idealism Re-purposing Mechanization: A Surreal Coda\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSchopenhauer and Leopardi: A Dialogue between A and D by Francesco De Sanctis\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595751747864,"sku":"9781487528652","price":45.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/modernist-idealism-ambivalent-legacies-of-german-philosophy-in-italian-literature-hardback-9781487528652","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
