This book examines the ways in which selfhood and cultural
solidarity came to be understood and lived as historical identities
during the 1800s. It examines the stages and conflicts in the
process of 'becoming historical' through the works of prominent
Prussian artists and intellectuals (Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Felix
Mendelssohn, Jacob Grimm, Friedrich Karl von Savigny, Leopold von
Ranke) who attached their personal visions to the reformist agenda
of the Prussian regime that took power in 1840. The historical
account of the evolution of analogous and inter-related commitments
to a cultural reformation that would create communal solidarity
through subjective identification with public memory is framed by
the philosophical perspectives on historical selfhood provided by
F. W. J. Schelling and his radical critics, Karl Marx and Soren
Kierkegaard, thus drawing this story of building selves and
communities in early nineteenth century Berlin into current debates
about historical determined and contingently constructed
identities.
