Deutsche Geschichte Des 19. und 20 Jahrhunderts. Anglais by Golo Mann Pdf
'At times,' writes Golo Mann, 'the Germans seem a philosophical people, at others the most practical and most materialistic at times the most peaceful, at others the most domineering and brutal. Time after time they have surprised the world by things least expected of them.' It is this quality of paradox, even of mystery, in the German nation that the distinguished historian renders with such subtlety and penetration in this celebrated study. It traces the whole sweep of intellectual development in Germany since the French Revolution. As well as chronicling historic events, the book deals in detail with the contributions of philosophers, poets and novelists alongside those of parliamentarians and generals.

During recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in interest in the nineteenth century, resulting in many fine monographs. However, these studies often gravitate toward Prussia or treat Germany's southern and northern regions as separate entities or else are thematically compartmentalized. This book overcomes these divisions, offering a wide-ranging account of this revolutionary century and skillfully combining narrative with analysis. Its lively style makes it very accessible and ideal for all students of nineteenth-century Germany.
Originally published in 1967, this book discusses economic and constitutional developments and religious history in relation to their political consequences. Political theory is treated in two sections: one is devoted to the ideas current from 1789 to the ‘revolutionary year’ of 1848, and another to those of the Bismarckian era. The author used archival material to verify her analysis of such complicated questions as the operation of the Holy Roman Empire and Bismarckian foreign policy. Investigating the disappearance of the old Germany, in which medieval institutions still survived the book shows that the unification of Germany was not the final climax of German history, it appeared, at the time, to be.

History of Political Thought in Germany 1789-1815 by Reinhold Aris Pdf
First Published in 1965. This study deals with the history of political thought in Germany from 1789 to 1815. It is the story of a nation awaking from a long sleep, commencing to think for itself, to modernize its institutions, to formulate its ideas of the pattern of society and the duties of the State. Modern German literature begins with Klopstock and Lessing. German political thinking comes even later, for it is the child of the French Revolution.

Germany and the French Revolution by George Peabody Gooch Pdf
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...must proceed from the will of the Sovereign; but the pen must enable the ruler and the people alike to perceive what is unjust. What a people cannot ordain for itself--for instance, a new creed--the Sovereign also cannot impose.' Kant shared the feelings of horror with which his countrymen heard of the death of the King, which he was to denounce in his 'Philosophy of Law' as a crime beyond forgiveness. But he refused to despair of the future or to lose faith in the ideas of 1789, and he sometimes astonished his friends by his unconsidered utterances. 'He is still a thorough democrat, ' wrote the pious Nicolovius in 1794.2 'He said all the horrors in France were unimportant compared with the chronic evil of despotism from which France had suffered, and the Jacobins were probably right in all they were doing.' His medical colleague, Metzger, describes 'the boldness and fearlessness with which for years--if to the end, I know not--he championed the principles of the French Revolution against all comers, even against men of the highest 1 Kant, Briefwechsel, ii. 440, 471-2. Quoted by Hettner, Gesch. der deutschen Lit., iv. 39, position in the State. There was a time in Konigsberg when everybody who had a word to say for the Revolution was entered on the black books of the authorities as a Jacobin. Kant, however, did not let himself be frightened, and he was so respected that he was left in peace.'1 A little further information is supplied by Jachmann.2 'In no direction, perhaps, did he make so many friends and enemies as by his political ideas. You knew that he pronounced every revolution to be wrong, even under the oppression of cruel despots, and wished reform to take place by the slower but safer road of moral advance. Our task is to strive..
Germany and 'The West' by Riccardo Bavaj,Martina Steber Pdf
“The West” is a central idea in German public discourse, yet historians know surprisingly little about the evolution of the concept. Contrary to common assumptions, this volume argues that the German concept of the West was not born in the twentieth century, but can be traced from a much earlier time. In the nineteenth century, “the West” became associated with notions of progress, liberty, civilization, and modernity. It signified the future through the opposition to antonyms such as “Russia” and “the East,” and was deployed as a tool for forging German identities. Examining the shifting meanings, political uses, and transnational circulations of the idea of “the West” sheds new light on German intellectual history from the post-Napoleonic era to the Cold War.
