Keywords: philosophy of Romanticism; postmemory; narrative turn
Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the assumptions of the narrative turn and the notion of narrative as a structure in which human performs all thought processes. In the next section of the text, the narrative is shown as the native ability of a human to process stimuli and construct one’s own identity based on past experiences. This leads us to Heidegger’s philosophy of Dasein — conscious being‑in‑the‑world. The article also discusses an analogy between reading literature and perception (in reference to ideas of Roman Ingarden and psychoanalysis), emphasizing the role of emotions in cognitive acts. In conclusions the article indicates the relationship between contemporary theories of narrative and the Romantic philosophy of “feeling and faith”, presenting them as inspiration for humanities.
