In this work, Holland (German, University of California, Santa Barbara) resurrects the thought of Johann Wilhelm Ritter (1776-1810) as well as shedding light on an age in intellectual flux. Ritter may have been neglected by scholars because he was a scientist, philosopher, and romantic mystic/speculative thinker, too many facets for one catagorization. Ritter was a pioneer in the study of electricity and noted in his time for this. He also felt that science, religion and philosophy could be explained in the same terms. For instance, in his thoughts on astronomy Ritter considers the idea that "entire human races are in turn, nothing other than individual planets." Holland has translated three of Ritter’s works, "Physics as Art". "The History of Chemistry" and the fascinating "Fragments from the Estate of a Young Physicist". This last demonstrates both the difficulty of assigning a slot to Ritter and Holland’s ability to translate the difficult prose literally while still reproducing the exuberance of Ritter’s thoughts. This facing-page German and English edition should interest anyone studying the early Romantic period from any angle. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
