Librett."Over the course of the eighteenth century, European intellectuals shifted from admiring China as a utopian place of wonder to despising it as a backwards and despotic state. That transformation had little to do with changes in China itself, and everything to do with Enlightenment conceptions of political identity and Europe's own burgeoning global power. China in the German Enlightenment considers the place of German philosophy, particularly the work of Leibniz, Goethe, Herder, and Hegel, in this development. Beginning with the first English translation of Walter Demel's classic essay "How the Chinese Became Yellow," the collection's essays examine the connections between eighteenth-century philosophy, German Orientalism, and the origins of modern race theory."--Provided by publisher.German and European studies ;24.German literature18th centuryHistory and criticismEnlightenmentGermanyPhilosophy, German18th centuryOrientalismGermanyHistory18th centuryOrientalism in literatureRace in literatureChinese in literatureChinaIn literatureLibros electronicos.German literatureHistory and criticism.EnlightenmentPhilosophy, GermanOrientalismHistoryOrientalism in literature.Race in literature.Chinese in literature.830.9006Brandt Bettina, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt.Purdy Daniel , edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt.DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911009154403321China in the German Enlightenment4396566UNINA
