Reading and Seeing Ethnic Differences in the Enlightenment - From China to Africa (Hardcover, 2007 ed.)

This book investigates the contested ways in which
eighteenth-century German philosophers, scientists, poets, and
dramatists perceived and represented China and Africa from 1680 to
1830. Tautz demonstrates in compelling ways that reading China
allowed for the integration of cultural difference into
Enlightenment universalism, whereas seeing Africa exposed
irreducible differences that undermined any claims of universality.
By working through the case of eighteenth-century Germany and
Europe, the book adds an important cross-cultural and historical
dimension to questions relevant to our world today.
