Practicing Progress focuses on the German Enlightenment in its dual
manifestation as a cultural era and as a mode of discourse. The
volume's unifying theme is the promise and limitations of the
Enlightenment, as seen from the twenty-first century. Contributors
deal with figures from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries in
theology, poetry and drama, economic theory, and music. Included
are such powerful critics of the politics of progress as Friedrich
Nietzsche, Hannah Arendt, and Bertolt Brecht. The volume is of
particular interest to scholars concerned with the complexity of
literary phenomena. A variety of interpretive approaches yield
fresh insights into the still ongoing project of Enlightenment.
