"The failure of Liberalism" in Germany and its responsibility for
the rise of Nazism has been widely discussed among scholars inside
and outside Germany. This author argues that German liberalism
failed because of the irreconcilable conflict between two competing
visions of German identity. In following the German liberal parties
from the Empire through the Third Reich Kurlander illustrates
convincingly how an exclusionary racist Weltanschauung, conditioned
by profound transformations in German political culture at large,
gradually displaced the liberal-universalist conception of a
democratic Rechtsstaat. Although there were some notable
exceptions, this widespread obsession with "racial community
[Volksgemeinschaft]" caused the liberal parties to succumb to
ideological lassitude and self-contradiction, paving the way for
National Socialism.
