A recognised authority in the field, Nisbet grapples with the major voices of the Enlightenment and gives pride of place to the figures of Lessing, Herder, Goethe and Schiller. The book ranges widely in its compass of thought and intellectual discourse, dealing incisively with themes including the philosophical implications of literature and the relationship between religion, science and politics. The result is an accomplished reflection on German thought, but also on its rebirth, as Nisbet argues for the relevance of these Enlightenment thinkers for the readers of today. The first half of this collection focuses predominantly on eighteenth-century thought, where names like Lessing, Goethe and Herder, but also Locke and Voltaire, feature. The second has a wider chronological scope, discussing authors such as Winckelmann and Schiller, while branching out from discussions of religion, philosophy and literature to explore the sciences. Issues of biology, early environmentalism, and natural history also form part of this volume. The collection concludes with an examination of changing atitudes towards art in the atfermath of the ?Age of Goethe.? The essays in this volume are brought together in this collection to present Nisbet?s widely-acclaimed perspectives on this fascinating period of German thought. It will be of interest to scholars and students of the intellectual life of Europe during the Enlightenment, while its engaging and lucid style will also appeal to the general reader. 606 $aLiterature German Dutch Scandinavian 606 $aculture 606 $aEurope 606 $alanguage 606 $aGermany 606 $aEnlightenment 606 $aliterature 606 $aAge of Goethe 606 $aeighteenth-century 606 $aenvironmentalism 606 $aGerman thought 606 $anatural history 606 $anineteenth-century 615 4$aLiterature German Dutch Scandinavian 615 4$aculture 615 4$aEurope 615 4$alanguage 615 4$aGermany 615 4$aEnlightenment 615 4$aliterature 615 4$aAge of Goethe 615 4$aeighteenth-century 615 4$aenvironmentalism 615 4$aGerman thought 615 4$anatural history 615 4$anineteenth-century 700 $aNisbet$b Hugh Barr$0184499 701 $aNisbet$b Hugh Barr$01354951 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910498503403321 996 $aOn the Literature and Thought of the German Classical Era$93358859 997 $aUNINA
