Abstract

This collection contains the first English translations of a group of important eighteenth-century German essays that address the question, "What is Enlightenment?" The book also includes newly translated and newly written interpretive essays by leading historians and philosophers, which examine the origins of eighteenth-century debate on Enlightenment and explore its significance for the present.In recent years, critics from across the political and philosophical spectrum have condemned the Enlightenment for its complicity with any number of present-day social and cultural maladies. It has rarely been noticed, however, that at the end of the Enlightenment, German thinkers had already begun a scrutiny of their age so wide-ranging that there are few subsequent criticisms that had not been considered by the close of the eighteenth century. Among the concerns these essays address are the importance of freedom of expression, the relationship between faith and reason, and the responsibility of the Enlightenment for revolutions.Included are translations of works by such well-known figures as Immanuel Kant, Moses Mendelssohn, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Johann Georg Hamann, as well as essays by thinkers whose work is virtually unknown to American readers. These eighteenth-century texts are set against interpretive essays by such major twentieth-century figures as Max Horkheimer, Jürgen Habermas, and Michel Foucault.

Abstract

This major contribution to the history of philosophy provides the most comprehensive guide to modern natural law theory available, sets out the full background to liberal ideas of rights and contractarianism, and offers an extensive study of the Scottish Enlightenment. The time span covered is considerable: from the natural law theories of Grotius and Suarez in the early seventeenth century to the American Revolution and the beginnings of utilitarianism. After a detailed survey of modern natural law theory, the book focuses on the Scottish Enlightenment and its European and American connections. Knud Haakonssen explains the relationship between natural law and civic humanist republicanism, and he shows the relevance of these ideas for the understanding of David Hume and Adam Smith. The result is a completely revised background to modern ideas of liberalism and communitarianism.

Abstract

Die Studie geht den weithin unbekannten Spuren nach, die der Illuminatenorden Adam Weishaupts in Biographie, Werk und Ideenwelt Friedrich Schillers hinterlassen hat. An allen Lebensstationen der Flucht- und Wanderjahre ist die 'Kerntruppe der Aufklärung' aktiv: in Stuttgart, wo Schillers Lieblingslehrer Abel Chef der Ordensfiliale wird, in der Pfalz, wo Schiller auf führende Matadore des Bundes trifft, in Sachsen-Weimar, wo unter der Regie Johann Joachim Christoph Bodes der inzwischen verbotene Orden in reformierter Gestalt weiterlebt. Zu Gesicht kommt ein dichtes Beziehungsnetz von Ordensmitgliedern, eine Vielzahl von Begegnungen, Werbungsversuchen, Verbindungen. In unmittelbarer Nähe zu den Protagonisten erlebt Schiller so Aufstieg und Fall des Illuminatenbundes. Die Folgen für den Komplex des "Don Karlos" werden hier zum erstenmal umfassend dargelegt. Das Beispiel der Illuminaten sorgt für die Umorientierung des Sujets, die neue Führungsrolle des Marquis Posa, die Philosophie der Menschenrechte - aber auch für den Absturz ihres Verfechters in einen 'Despotismus der Aufklärung', den die "Briefe über Don Karlos" denkwürdig schroff an den Pranger stellen. In der Debatte um die Illuminaten formieren sich Positionen, die Schiller angesichts der Französischen Revolution aufnehmen wird. Die illuminatische Herausforderung begegnet ihm erneut, als der Prinz von Augustenburg und dessen Vertrauter Jens Baggesen an ihn herantreten. Die Auswirkungen sind in den Entwürfen der ästhetischen Erziehung und des ästhetischen Staates greifbar. Das Buch wirft neues Licht auf die intellektuelle Geschichte Schillers, auf die konkreten Aktivitäten des Illuminatenordens, auf die Ideologieresistenz der Weimarer Klassik.
