One of the key traits that connect different periods of Friedrich Schlegel’s philosophy is the pri- macy of understanding over reason. It stands out against the background of the contemporaneous post-Kantian philosophical trend, where, in line with Kant’s inversion of traditional terminology, the primacy was normally given to the latter. This study investigates the book 2-4 of Schlegel’s Cologne lectures the Development of Philosophy (1804-05) and shows that, while his contemporaries (e.g. Fichte, Hegel) associated the power of understanding (Verstand) primarily with the verb “to stand” (stehen), he saw its essence in its connection to a different verb, i.g., “to understand” (verstehen), which denotes a complex process with a unique circular structure.

Paradox is one of the central concepts in the early philosophy of Friedrich Schlegel (1772-1829) and underlies his unique theoretical endeavors. This study examines its meaning, function and significance, which have, despite its apparent importance, rarely been independently discussed. While paradox has often been identified with logical self-contradiction, a historical contextualization shows that in Schlegel’s time, it was primarily understood in its most etymologically fundamental meaning, namely as “contrary to expectation”. When Schlegel encouraged the quality of being paradoxical as desirable in philosophy, he was aiming for a confrontation with the reader’s preconceived assumptions (be it socially shared or more personal). It is, as Kant argued, often a hazardous enterprise to entertain a paradoxical opinion. However, according to Jacobi’s interpretation of Lessing’s paradoxes, the contradiction itself can operate educationally; it prompts readers to re-examine their own beliefs and the interrelations between them. Following Jacobi in this respect, Schlegel recognizes the importance of paradoxes in their capacity to stimulate the ability of people to think for themselves. Self-contradictions, which arise only when the act of contradiction is applied self-reflexively, form the basis of Schlegel’s dialectic philosophy.
