ABSTRACT

Guided by the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead and the transcendental materialism of Gilles Deleuze, this reading of Goethe’s ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Ganymed’ constructs the hymns’ defining polarity with reference to the ‘subjective aims’ of their ‘conceptual personae’. While each mythological figure is driven by a primordial ‘feeling’ along its separate path of ‘satisfaction’, the sum of their grasping moves, or physical and mental ‘prehensions’, constitutes a field of conceptualization that is post-theological and protophilosophical. The problematic Promethean ‘I’, according to this interpretive framing, undergoes a transformative reconfiguration in ‘Ganymed’ through the strategic deployment of the lexemes fassen and fangen, so that its counterpart in subject formation ultimately becomes a Whiteheadian ‘superject’.

摘要

在阿尔弗雷德·诺斯·怀特黑德的过程哲学和吉尔·德勒兹的先验唯物主义的指导下，这种对歌德的“普罗米修斯”和“Ganymed”的解读参照其“概念人物”的“主观目标”构建了赞美诗的定义极性。虽然每个神话人物都是由一种原始的“感觉”沿着其各自的“满足”路径驱动的，但他们的抓握动作或身体和心理“捕捉”的总和构成了一个后神学和原始哲学的概念化领域。根据这种解释性框架，有问题的普罗米修斯“我”通过对词法fassen和fangen的战略部署在“Ganymed”中经历了变革性的重构，因此它在主体形成中的对应物最终成为怀特海的“超主”。
