Beyond Catastrophe examines the post-World War II leadership
efforts of four major German intellectuals: Karl Jaspers, Thomas
Mann, Friedrich Meinecke, and Bertolt Brecht. Clark focuses on the
symbolic, practical, and theoretical contributions of these men to
post-war cultural reconstruction, and pays special attention to
their key works of the period - The German Catastrophe, Doctor
Faustus, The Question of German Guilt, and Turandot - in which they
addressed the key issues of the period including responsibility and
guilt for the National Socialist regime, German distinctiveness,
the possibility of a renewed humanism, and the relationship of
intellectuals to the broader society. Addressing an important
lacuna in twentieth-century intellectual history, Beyond
Catastrophe will appeal to scholars of history and German studies.
