This book project sets out to describe the systematic foundations of an aesthetics of distinctness in rhetoric, poetics and art theory leading up to the 18th century. Close studies of the literary works of Georg Büchner and Adalbert Stifter point out the

从古代修辞学的相关论述谈起（阿斯特利翁，西塞罗，昆体良）通过早期启蒙运动的逻辑，修辞和诗学（笛卡尔、莱布尼茨、沃尔夫、戈特谢德、布莱廷格），导致了世纪后半叶的美学话语（鲍姆加滕，迈耶，康德）-服务于确定一个特定的概念postromantic诗歌，这是同样受理在文学的格奥尔格Büchner和Adalbert Stifter，无论他们的明显差异，在政治信念和审美态度。他们的写作符合自然科学中发展起来的表现模式，回答了关于清晰性和客观性的新要求。这种明显的无技巧性，导致了比什内尔根据科学解剖的限制进行准解剖学渲染，并导致了施蒂夫特在描述物体时过分精确，其特点是令人不安的过度质量。这种“太多”不仅刺激了同时代人的审美期待，而且还扩大了在所谓的艺术终结之后给予艺术的可能性范围。将比希纳和施蒂夫特的文学置于独特性美学的范围之内，旨在重新评估它们在思想史上的意义。揭示他们在18世纪世纪的认识体系的根源有助于理解两位作者作为启蒙运动的继承者，通过重塑理性主义传统而走向批判的现代主义。

The reconstruction of an aesthetics of distinctness - following the relevant discussions from antique rhetoric (Aristoteles, Cicero, Quintilian) through logic, rhetoric and poetics of the early Enlightenment (Descartes, Leibniz, Wolff, Gottsched, Breitinger) leading up to the aesthetic discourse in the second half of the 18th century (Baumgarten, Meier, Kant) - serves to identify a specific notion of postromantic poetry, which is equally entertained in the literature of Georg Büchner and of Adalbert Stifter, regardless of their obvious differences in political conviction and aesthetic attitude. Conforming to models of representation developed in the natural sciences their writing answers new claims of clarity and objectivity. The apparent artlessness, leading to Büchners quasi anatomical rendering in accordance with the constraints of scientific autopsie and resulting in Stifters obsessive accuracy in describing objects, is characterized by a disturbing excessive quality. This „too much“ not only irritated aesthetic expectations of the contemporaries, it also enlarges the range of possibilities given to an art after the alleged end of art. Placing Büchner´s and Stifter´s literature within the scope of an aesthetics of distinctness aims at reassessing their significance in the history of ideas. Exposing their roots in the 18th century´s epistemic system helps to understand both authors as heirs of the enlightenment, working towards a critical modernism by reshaping the rationalistic tradition.
