1. J.B. Metzler Erfüllungspoetiken.
Sebastian Lübcke examines philosophical and literary engagements with fulfillment and the ontologically absolute from the 18th to the 20th century. It becomes evident that texts from the modern era that deal with the 'divine' or 'eternal life,' despite sometimes having anti-Christian agendas, are repeatedly influenced by 'classical' Christian modes of thought and representation. Through a 'poetics of fulfillment' tradition line that includes Klopstock, Hölderlin, Rückert, George, and the Surrealists, the author illustrates how, in poetry and poetics, the claim is made to symbolically make present the fulfilled time of 'eternal life'—according to each author's own conception—within the 'aesthetic own time' of the poems.

3. J.B. Metzler Die Gegenwart anders denken
In this book, Arturo Romero Contreras addresses the question of how philosophy is possible after its proclaimed end. In the first part, the author starts from the phenomenology of Husserl and its reception by Fink, Heidegger, and Derrida, aiming to shed light on the context and justification of the claim that philosophy has reached its end. The second part demonstrates that proponents of the end of philosophy indeed point to a different logic and mathematics. Paradox is a logical concept that only makes sense under certain conditions. But what are the philosophical implications and the resulting space for thought when one accepts new mathematical ideas and non-classical logics?.
4. J.B. Metzler Mendelssohn Handbook
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was a remarkably versatile composer. Robert Schumann referred to him as the Mozart of the 19th century, while Johannes Brahms and Max Reger revered him as a romantic visionary. Celebrated during his lifetime, he was later subjected to anti-Semitic attacks by Richard Wagner and pushed out of concert stages, making him the composer who has suffered the most from his own reception history. This handbook provides detailed discussions of all his works, general representations of his life and compositional concepts in their musical and cultural context, as well as aspects of his impact history from both a compositional and historical perspective. The aim of this handbook is to better understand Mendelssohn's position in his time and to present various approaches to his compositions.

Extensive information on the history of creation and interpretation completes each article.
6. J.B. Metzler Globalgeschichten der deutschen Literatur
German literature is not exclusively written and read in German. Literature does not stop at borders, and German is permeated by numerous regional internal distinctions. The representation of such diversity is conceptually too much for a national historiography of literature. This volume therefore discusses the possibilities of a literary global historiography following recent historiographical approaches. It opens up a methodological discussion on how philological analyses, medial questions, and sociological perspectives on the book market, the literary industry, and literary studies can be combined. Using examples from around the globe, the articles examine the shortcomings of standard literary history and test alternatives. The volume seeks access to processes of globalization in German literature, starting from different disciplines: in addition to contributions from international German studies, comparative literature, foreign language philology, book studies, postcolonial studies, and digital humanities are also represented.

7. J.B. Metzler Musik und Emotionen
Music and emotions are currently in vogue, not just since emotions have become one of the main topics in science, self-help literature, and journalism. The connection between these two ephemeral phenomena dates back to ancient times and is far more complex than the widely known phrase that music is the language of feelings suggests. In this volume, approaches from historical musicology, dance studies, and sound studies are for the first time combined with methods from the history of emotions to describe the multifaceted relationship between music and emotions from a cultural-historical perspective.
