Who among the following was NOT a friend of Hölderlin?
Schelling
Napoleon
Hegel
Novalis
Answer
Napoleon was not a friend of Hölderlin because their political views were diametrically opposed. Hölderlin was a staunch supporter of the French Revolution and an advocate for individual liberty, while Napoleon became an authoritarian ruler who ultimately betrayed the ideals of the revolution. Despite their contrasting ideologies, Hölderlin did express admiration for Napoleon's military genius, but their relationship remained distant and purely professional.
