The Doppelganger

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of the Doppelgänger, this work delves into literature's role as a reflection of philosophical ideas, particularly regarding subjectivity. Originating from Jean Paul's critique of Idealism in 1796, it challenges notions of individuality and human agency. The Doppelgänger serves as a precursor to contemporary views on the fragmented self, making it a pivotal symbol of modernity. Through this lens, the book examines the historical and philosophical underpinnings that connect literature and the evolving understanding of subjectivity.
