Nine Letters on Landscape Painting
Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869)--court physician to the king of Saxony--was a naturalist, amateur painter, and theoretician of landscape painting whose Nine Letters on Landscape Painting is an important document of early German romanticism and an elegant appeal for the integration of art and science. Carus was inspired by and had contacts with the greatest German intellectuals of his day. Carus prefaced his work with a letter from his correspondence with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was his primary mentor in both science and art. His writings also reflect, however, the influence of the German natural philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, especially Schelling's notion of a world soul, and the writings of the naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt. Carus played a role in the revolution in landscape painting taking place in Saxony around Caspar David Friedrich. The first edition appears here in English for the first time.
Psyche: On the Development of the Soul - Part 1: The Unconscious
Of all precursors, Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869) claims the closer attention of psychology because his presentation of the unconscious shows him to be mainly a psychologist ... In distinction to the thought surrounding him and out of which he emerged, Carus describes psychological processes in detail and yet holds to a holistic view, placing the unconscious and the psyche within a meaningful universe whose main focus for him is "life." In the human, life manifests as psyche, the first level of which is the unconscious. He sees man primarily as a psychological being, through whose unconscious he is connected with all life both as nature and as that spiritual principle which inheres in and tra...
Thinking the Unconscious
Since Freud's earliest psychoanalytic theorization around the beginning of the twentieth century, the concept of the unconscious has exerted an enormous influence upon psychoanalysis and psychology, and literary, critical and social theory. Yet, prior to Freud, the concept of the unconscious already possessed a complex genealogy in nineteenth-century German philosophy and literature, beginning with the aftermath of Kant's critical philosophy and the origins of German idealism, and extending into the discourses of romanticism and beyond. Despite the many key thinkers who contributed to the Germanic discourses on the unconscious, the English-speaking world remains comparatively unaware of this heritage and its influence upon the origins of psychoanalysis. Bringing together a collection of experts in the fields of German Studies, Continental Philosophy, the History and Philosophy of Science, and the History of Psychoanalysis, this volume examines the various theorizations, representations, and transformations undergone by the concept of the unconscious in nineteenth-century German thought.

Caspar David Friedrich
Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), a major figure in the German Romantic movement, painted sublime works representing nature at its most melancholic and desolate. One of his most famous motifs was that of two intimate figures, seen from behind, gazing at the moon. Friedrich painted three versions of this theme, one of which -- Two Men Contemplating the Moon -- has recently been acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The book discusses the Metropolitan's painting in conjunction with the other two versions and a number of related paintings and drawings by Friedrich and his Dresden friends. It also presents fascinating details about the moon itself -- including what was known about it in Friedrich's lifetime and its presence and symbolism in contemporary Romantic poetry.

Carl Gustav Carus
Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869) gilt als 'Universalgelehrter' im Sinne Goethes und Alexander von Humboldts und als Vertreter der Romantik in Dresden im Umfeld von Caspar David Friedrich und Johan Christian Dahl. 55 Jahre wirkte Carus als Arzt und Naturwissenschaftler, Philosoph und Künstler in Dresden. Ausgehend von dem umfangreichen Werkbestand, den die Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden mit 22 Gemälden und mehr als 700 Zeichnungen und Druckgraphiken von Carl Gustav Carus besitzen, beleuchtet eine Ausstellung in Dresden und Berlin Carus' umfangreiches und außerordentlich vielfältiges Lebenswerk. Der Katalogband zeigt Carus' künstlerisches OEuvre von den Anfängen über Landschaftsmotive nach Reiseeindrücken und Naturstudien bis hin zu poetisch-romantischen Bildkompositionen. Dem gegenüber stehen seine biographischen, kunsttheoretischen, medizinischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Schriften, die in ihrer Gesamtheit erstmals so umfassend Betrachtung finden. Exponate aus Carus' anthropologischer Sammlung werden vorgestellt und seine Beziehungen zu Zeitgenossen wie Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Caspar David Friedrich oder Alexander von Humboldt beleuchtet.
Mechanisms of Angiogenesis
Is it advisable to go back from bedside to the bench? During the last decade, few topics encountered such a broad interest in bio- gy and medicine as angiogenesis. The amazing ability of the body to restore blood flow by induction of blood vessel growth as part of an adaptive process has alarmed physicians dealing with diseases in which angiogenesis is either exaggerated (as in tumors) or too slow (as in ischemic diseases of heart and brain). Not surprisingly, pro- and antiangiogenic strategies have found their way into clinical trials. For instance, for the USA, the NIH website in early 2004 displayed 38 clinical studies involving either pro- or antiangiogenic th- apies. Given the expected ...
