Selbstgestaltung in aller Seelenruhe. Lebenskunst in Christoph Martin Wielands <i>Aristipp und einige seiner Zeitgenossen</i> (1800/1801)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Wieland’s epistolary novel Aristipp presents a process of self-formation and self-regulation through writing and reading. The article begins by presenting the main characters’ modes of life as gender-specific paradigms for an independent life. The ancient ars vivendi is central to these modes of life in that it represents the practice of self-formation based upon the characters’ recognition of the possibilities of social influence. Wieland represents writing and reading as the key ways of training oneself in this art of living. The characters form themselves through monologue and dialogue. At the same time, the genre of the epistolary novel serves to emphasize the autopoetic dimension of speech within the process of self-creation, as well as the discursive character of that process. Thus, the characters create themselves through their self-representations and thereby reveal themselves to be fictional subjects composed of various quotations. Finally, the article outlines Wieland’s programme of self-formation and self-moderation as a counter-model to modern understandings of the subject. Since the eighteenth century, the self has tended to be conceived of as autonomous, authentic, original, and final. This concept has only come to be questioned once again in the age of late modernity, by critics who draw on techniques analogous to Wieland’s.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
