Abstract

The article is an attempt at a reconstruction of the specificity of understanding history in the writings of Friedrich von Hardenberg (Novalis), a representative of early German Romanticism. It points out the importance of inspiration of transcendentalism of J. G. Fichte, an initiator of a moral revolution in Germany, which is believed to have contributed to the transformation of natural history (Naturgeschichte) into a methodically implemented history of culture (Bildungsgeschichte). In a polemics with the narrow-minded consciousness contaminated by dogmatic empiricism, as evidenced by the French Revolution, Novalis proclaims the beginning of a new world that will realize the unity of theoretical and practical reason in a mature community of unique individuals.
