      This study explores the role of philosophical anthropology - the question of the relationship between mind and body - in the novels and non-fictional writings of Johann Karl Wezel, Philipp Moritz and Jean Paul. Through a scholarly discussion of their ideas on human physiology and pyschology, as well as the application of these ideas to their aesthetic and moral theories, Catherine Minter suggests that these three important German writers of the late 18th century share a common desire: to invest the physical world with spiritual significance The study traces not only the development in the three authors' views on philosophical anthropology, but also, more generally, in the history of ideas in Germany between 1770 and 1830. As well as making a contribution to the discussion of the origins of anthropology in the 18th and 19th centuries, it highlights the continuity in German intellectual history between the Late Enlightenment and Romanticism periods - two periods that are frequently seen as antagonistic.
