Why is Hölderlin so important? Hölderlin is important because he occupies a philosophical position that can be defended even now, and perhaps stronger than ever. For Hölderlin, freedom is paramount, but that does not mean that people are autonomous. The struggle with the world is necessary to come to consciousness, and that cannot be without conflicts. These conflicts concern not only the relationship with other people, but also those with one's own consciousness.
When man thinks about himself, he discovers the absolute in himself, that the world is one big context, but that he is excluded from that context. The absolute withdraws from our grasp, and no science or technology gives access to the essential that withdraws from us. Only at certain moments do we succeed in becoming one with the world and does the ecstasy make us forget our conflicts.
For this process of awareness that takes place in the dispute with the world, but which at times is unprecedented, Hölderlin has found words that are unique and unparalleled by any other poet.
That you can be grateful for your existence because you can experience the absolute in its inaccessibility within you, that there is a remembrance that gives the experience of being right through loss and farewell, that is what makes Hölderlin so topical and why he provokes so much enthusiasm among his admirers.
When human development (Bildung) is not possible without conflicts with yourself and the world, it means that you should not take away people's problems, but rather facilitate them in understanding the stage of life they are going through. In search of the meaning of life and its own identity, there is no writer who has so much to tell us as Hölderlin.

Waarom is Hölderlin zo belangrijk? Hölderlin is belangrijk omdat hij een filosofische positie inneemt die zich ook nu nog, en misschien wel sterker dan ooit, laat verdedigen. Voor Hölderlin staat de vrijheid voorop, maar dat wil nog niet zeggen dat de mens autonoom is. De strijd met de wereld is noodzakelijk om tot bewustzijn te komen, en dat kan niet zonder conflicten. Die conflicten betreffen niet alleen de verhouding met andere mensen, maar ook die met het eigen bewustzijn. Wanneer de mens over zichzelf nadenkt ontdekt hij het absolute in zichzelf, dat de wereld één grote samenhang is, maar dat hij van die samenhang is buitengesloten. Het absolute onttrekt zich aan onze greep, en geen wetenschap of techniek geeft toegang tot het wezenlijke dat zich aan ons onttrekt. Alleen op sommige ogenblikken lukt het ons één te worden met de wereld en laat de extase ons onze conflicten vergeten. Voor dit bewustwordingsproces dat plaats vindt in het geschil met de wereld, maar dat op sommige momenten een ongekende vervoering kent, heeft Hölderlin woorden gevonden die uniek zijn en die door geen enkele andere dichter worden geëvenaard. Dat je voor je bestaan dankbaar kunt zijn omdat je het absolute in zijn ontoegankelijkheid in je binnenste kunt ervaren, dat er een aandenken is dat dwars door verlies en afscheid heen de ervaring van het zijn geeft, dat is wat Hölderlin zo actueel maakt en waarom hij bij zijn bewonderaars zo veel enthousiasme oproept. Wanneer menselijke ontwikkeling (Bildung) niet mogelijk is zonder conflicten met jezelf en de wereld, betekent dat, dat je de mensen hun problemen niet moet afpakken, maar ze moet faciliteren in het begrijpen van de levensfase die ze doormaken. Op zoek naar de zin van het leven en een eigen identiteit is er wel geen schrijver die ons zo veel te vertellen heeft als Hölderlin.
