The nineteenth-century Romantic understanding of history is often
confused with the longing for the past Golden Age. In this book,
the Romantic idea of Golden Age is seen from a new angle by
discussing it in the context of Friedrich Schlegel's works.
Interestingly, Schlegel argued that the concept of a past Golden
Age in the beginning of history was itself a product of antiquity,
imagined without any historical ground. The Golden Age was not
bygone for Schlegel, but to be produced in the future. His utopian
vision of the Kingdom of God was related to the millenarian
expectations of perpetual peace aroused by the revolutionary wars.
Schlegel understood current era through the kairos concept, which
emphasized the present possibilities for public agency. Thus
history could not be reduced to any kind of pre-established pattern
of redemption, for the future was determined only by the
opportunities manifested in the present time.
