This essay explores the question of the body and addiction raised by Immanuel Kant and Samuel Taylor Coleridge as they fashion themselves into modern subjects. While studies of the philosophical connection between Kant and Coleridge have well been established, the somewhat counterintuitive relationship between the health-mongering Kant and the opium addict Coleridge has not drawn enough critical attention. Looking closely at the ways in which Kant and Coleridge attend to their bodies, this essay argues that both forms of obsession over the body ? whether as a health nut or as a junkie ? share the problem of dealing with the high pressures of being a modern subject. Modern subjectivity is first and foremost grounded on the idea of autonomy : the free and rational “I”. The idea of autonomy puts an emphasis on the independence and self-sufficiency of the modern self. The Enlightenment imperative is that the subject ought to be an individual in full possession of his or her self ; concepts born from this demand ? right, reason, imagination ? are predicated on the individual as the basic form of subjectivity. Kant’s compulsive dependence on a self-devised physical regimen to prolong life and maintain mental health is a symptomatic sign of how demanding this imperative can be. Coleridge’s opium addiction, on the hand, sheds light on the possibilities and limitations of the Romantic poet’s identity as an original author. A careful analysis of the bodily addictions of these two figures offers an intriguing way of tracing the connections and tensions between Enlightenment and Romanticism at the birth of the modern subject.
