Redekop revises and expands the Habermasian thesis by demonstrating that, rather than being particularly "bourgeois," the eighteenth-century German public was a problematic, amorphous entity that was not based on a single social grouping - a beckoning figure that led Lessing, Abbt, and Herder on unique but comparable quests to give it shape and form. His perspective provides an important new understanding of the work of authors who have often been placed in overly narrow and restrictive categories. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;$v28. 606 $aEnlightenment$zGermany 615 0$aEnlightenment 676 $a193 700 $aRedekop$b Benjamin W.$f1961-$01480726 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782708603321 996 $aEnlightenment and community$93697453 997 $aUNINA
