Abstract

This article examines the relationship between poetry and science in the works of Novalis in four stages. First, the meaning of Novalis’ “poetry of science” is analyzed, tackling theoretical aspects of the romantic vision of poetry and how it relates to philosophy and science. Second, some fragments showing the characteristics that “poeticized” scientific writing have for Novalis are discussed. Third, the mechanisms Novalis uses to incorporate themes originating in the natural sciences into his literary work are examined. Finally, some reflections upon the connections these ideas have with the romantic world view regarding the equivalence between man as mikròs-kosmos and world as makròs-ánthropos are provided.
