In Ludwig Tieck’s translation of Cervantes’ Don Quixote (1799) there is a direct interpolation of a major philosophical concept: the Spanish hazaña – describing the undertakings of the hero, meaning “heroic deed” or “exploit” – is translated as Tathandlung, the neologism Fichte had forged in the first Wissenschaftslehre (1794).
This gives rise not to an abstract question of poetry’s relation to thought but a complex constellation of responses within the literary politics of Jena Romanticism, from the place of Fichte to the role of translation, as well as the theory of the novel, in which, in the quarrel over Don Quixote, the Romantic “transcendental poesy” becomes subverted.
I show that Friedrich Schlegel responds with a strategy in which one of the professed collective and collaborative ideals of Romantic thought – symphilosophy – comes to exclude Tieck’s position, applying the framework Plato’s Ion: The ironic position Schlegel claims can thus, I argue, be constructed as a response, in Platonic terms, to the un- or even anti-philosophical rhapsode – the ionic position – perceived in the poetic practice of Tieck.

Rejecting the terms of the previous confrontations between the positions of Derrida and Lacan, the essay seeks to show how the scope of what Derrida proposed under the title of grammatology can be extended beyond the limits of the “Freudian impression” and provide a key to understanding the complex topological notions Lacan developed in his later years.
