During its short lifespan, the Weimar Republic (1918-33)
witnessed an unprecedented flowering of achievements in many areas,
including psychology, political theory, physics, philosophy,
literary and cultural criticism, and the arts. Leading
intellectuals, scholars, and critics--such as Hannah Arendt, Walter
Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Bertolt Brecht, and Martin
Heidegger--emerged during this time to become the foremost thinkers
of the twentieth century. Even today, the Weimar era remains a
vital resource for new intellectual movements. In this incomparable
collection, "Weimar Thought" presents both the specialist and the
general reader a comprehensive guide and unified portrait of the
most important innovators, themes, and trends of this fascinating
period.
The book is divided into four thematic sections: law, politics,
and society; philosophy, theology, and science; aesthetics,
literature, and film; and general cultural and social themes of the
Weimar period. The volume brings together established and emerging
scholars from a remarkable array of fields, and each individual
essay serves as an overview for a particular discipline while
offering distinctive critical engagement with relevant problems and
debates.
Whether used as an introductory companion or advanced scholarly
resource, "Weimar Thought" provides insight into the rich
developments behind the intellectual foundations of modernity.
