Abstract
Entre los siglos XVIII y XIX se suele localizar lo que se denomina crisis de la Modernidad. Esta crisis se identifica, de un modo u otro, con una crisis de la subjetividad: si el sujeto es la gran apuesta filosófica y cultural de la Modernidad, la crisis del uno y de la otra naturalmente se identifican. Pero, ¿realmente fueron en algún momento el sujeto, y la Modernidad en general, ajenos a la crisis? La Modernidad tiene su hábitat natural en las crisis recurrentes y en la incertidumbre. Incertidumbre por el derrumbamiento de un mundo, el ordenado cosmos medieval, estable y con visos de eternidad. También, la incertidumbre de la apuesta por el individuo humano como fulcro de toda nueva visión moderna: un individuo que es inevitablemente precario, efímero e inestable. Por último, la incertidumbre que provocan los otros en un nuevo orden social en el que las expectativas no tienen por qué estar preestablecidas. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en iluminar la crisis de la Modernidad desde su núcleo, la crisis de la subjetividad moderna, haciendo uso como vector de interpretación de la figura del doble tal y como aparece en algunos textos románticos. Su propósito es, pues, plenamente filosófico, aunque vaya a articularse, en parte, a través del análisis de textos y motivos que también son genuinamente literarios...
Between the 18th and 19th centuries it is often located what is termed crisis of Modernity. This crisis is identified, one way or another, with a crisis of subjectivity: if the subject is the great philosophical and cultural commitment of Modernity, the crises of both of them are naturally identified. But, was the subject, and Modernity in general, at some time really unaware of the crisis? Modernity has its natural habitat in recurrent crises and in uncertainty. Uncertainty owing to the collapse of a world, the orderly medieval cosmos, stable and with overtones of eternity. Also, the uncertainty of the commitment to human individuals as the fulcrum of a whole modern vision: an individual who is inevitably precarious, ephemeral and unstable. Finally, the uncertainty that the others cause in a new social order in which the expectations are not necessarily predetermined. The aim of this work is to enlighten the crisis of Modernity from its core, the crisis of modern subjectivity, using the figure of the double as he appears in some romantic texts as a vector for interpretation. Its purpose is, thus, fully philosophical, though it is articulated, partly, through the analysis of texts and motifs that are also genuinely literary...
