O último romântico: alguns apontamentos sobre a importância do romantismo alemão na formação do pensamento de Vilém Flusser
This essay is an attempt to place Vilém Flusser’s critique of the apparatus and technique within a broader context and, above all, to reflect on its roots. This approach offers an analysis of some concepts of the philosophy of the early German Romantics, specifically the Jena group, highlighting parallels in Flusser’s work: the importance of the notions of the fragment as an essential element of human thought and the cycle as its expression, demonstrating the precariousness of constructing large philosophical systems. The essay also focuses on the Romantic critique of a linear historical progress as well as on the theory of language, highlighting its poetic potential.
