Wednesday Mar 13, 2013
Last class on Frankenstein, with general consideration of relation of subjectivity to the outside world, and to other minds. Satan's subjectivity: "We know no time when we were not as now." The fact that the world is what subjectivity sees in it. Making vs. finding. The sublime. The other as an object of thought, but also as another subject. Shared scenes. Bodies without heads. Alastor, Frankenstein, Witch of Atlas, Mont Blanc, Childe Harold, Excersion, Intimations Ode. The monster's superior sense of subjectivity and of other minds as compared with Victor Frankenstein.
