Book Synopsis The Genesis of German Conservatism by : Klaus Epstein
Download or read book The Genesis of German Conservatism written by Klaus Epstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Conservative parties did not exist in Germany until after the Napoleonic Wars, there did emerge, around 1770, traceable organized political activity and intellectual currents of a clearly Conservative character. The author argues that this movement developed as a response to the challenge of the Enlightenment in the fields of religion, socioeconomic affairs, and politics- and that this response antedated the impact of the French Revolution. Believing that Conservatism cannot be treated properly as a specialized phenomenon, or simply as an intellectual movement, Professor Epstein correlates it with the political and social forces of the time.

Book Synopsis Germany's New Conservatism by : Klemens Von Klemperer
Download or read book Germany's New Conservatism written by Klemens Von Klemperer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is at once a chapter in the history of ideas and, by reason of its focus on the Weimar Republic, a case study. The author first offers a stimulating approach to a definition of that much abused word, conservatism. He then discusses the new conservatism's roots in such men as Burckhardt and Nietzsche, the various elements of the movement itself, and three major expressions of it—Moeller van den Bruck, Spengler, and Ernst Junger. Finally, he considers the complex relationship between neo-conservatism and Nazism. Originally published in 1957.

Book Synopsis The Course of German Nationalism by : Hagen Schulze
Download or read book The Course of German Nationalism written by Hagen Schulze and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The arduous path from the colourful diversity of the Holy Roman Empire to the Prussian-dominated German nation-state, Bismarck's German Empire of 1871, led through revolutions, wars and economic upheavals, but also through the cultural splendour of German Classicism and Romanticism. Hagen Schulze takes a fresh look at late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German history, explaining it as the interaction of revolutionary forces from below and from above, of economics, politics, and culture. None of the results were predetermined, and yet their outcome was of momentous significance for all of Europe, if not the world.
Download or read book West Germany written by Michael Balfour and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1982 West Germany presents a new approach to the study of contemporary Germany. The past history of the country is used to explain its present state, since the roots of many of the events of this century can be found as far back as the Middle Ages. In order to understand Germany’s relative backwardness in the nineteenth century, it is vital to have some conception of her medieval history, and likewise the descriptions of the constitutions of 1871 and 1919 help to explain why the Basic Law of 1949 took the form it did. The form the book takes is slightly unusual, in that the amount of space devoted to an epoch increases as the present-day approaches, but this is consistent with the aim of the book. This is an important historical document for scholars and researchers of German history and European history.
Book Synopsis German Neo-Pietism, the Nation and the Jews by : Doron Avraham
Download or read book German Neo-Pietism, the Nation and the Jews written by Doron Avraham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-20 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the national conceptualization of Judaism and Jews by German neo-Pietists from the early Restoration (1815) until the New Era (neue Ära, 1858-1861), at which point Prussia and other German states embarked on a liberal course. The book demonstrates how a certain understanding of nationalism by Awakened Christians, who were associated with political conservatism, was applied to themselves as belonging to a German nation, and correspondingly to Jews as members of a distinct Jewish nation. It argues that this kind of nationalization by neo-Pietists–among them theologians, intellectuals, and members of the agrarian aristocracy–was interwoven with their religion of the heart, and drew on a tradition of a community of kinship established by the earlier German Pietism since the late seventeenth century. The book sheds new light on the accommodation of nationalism by German Pietist conservatives, who so far were considered as opponents of the national idea. At the same time, it shows that their posture towards Jews was not merely anti-Semitic. It emerged from a specific religious-national synthesis, and aimed at an alternative solution to the Jewish Question, other than emancipation, in the form of Jewish national political independence.
Book Synopsis Dostoevsky, Grigor'ev, and Native Soil Conservatism by : Wayne Dowler
Download or read book Dostoevsky, Grigor'ev, and Native Soil Conservatism written by Wayne Dowler and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1982-12-15 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native soil was a mid-nineteenth-century Russian reaction against materialism and positivism. It emphasized the need for people to live their lives and develop themselves naturally, so that class difference might be reconciled, the achievements of the West fused with the communalism and Christian fraternity preserved by the Russian peasant, and the Russian nation united in the pursuit of common moral ideals. The metaphor 'Russia and the West' summarized much of the intellectual and political debate of the period: how Russia should use its indigenous and its 'borrowed' cultural elements to solve the political, economic, and social problems of a difficult period. Professor Dowler presents a detailed study of Native Soil conservatism from about 1850 to 1880 – its various intellectual facets, its leading thinkers, and its growth and gradual disintegration. In this utopian movement, literary creativity, aesthetics, and education took on special significance for human spiritual and social development. Dowler therefore examines the writings of two of the most gifted exponents of Native Soil – F.M. Dostoevsky and A.A. Grigor'ev – and looks at their circle and the journals to which they contributed in an assessment of their responses to the challenges of the period of Emancipation.

Book Synopsis German History in Marxist Perspective by : Andreas Dorpalen
Download or read book German History in Marxist Perspective written by Andreas Dorpalen and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andreas Dorpalen's German History in Marxist Perspective: The East German Approach is the most comprehensive study of historical scholarship in the former German Democratic Republic to have appeared in any language. His purpose is to analyze the way in which GDR historians, guided by the theoretical presuppositions of Marxist-Leninist ideology, have interpreted the German national past from the early Middle Ages to the present. To accomplish his task, Dorpalen examined the mass of writing produced by historians of the GDR from the time the historical profession was reestablished in 1945. He thereby provides readers with access to historical literature that up to now has been largely ignored by English-speaking scholars.
