German Scholars in Exiledeals with intellectuals who fled Nazi Germany and found refuge in either the United States or in American Services in Great Britain and post-WWII Germany. The volume focuses on scholars who were outside the commonly known Max Horkheimer-Hannah Arendt circles, who are less well-known but not less important. Their experiences ranged from an outstanding career at an Ivy-League university to a return to the German Democratic Republic and a position as an economic advisor to East Berlin's party leadership. None had actual political power, but many asserted some degree of influence. Their intellecutal legacies can still be seen in today's political culture.

The dismissal of civil servants on racist or political grounds in April 1933 marked the beginning of a massive, forced exodus of mainly Jewish scholars and scientists from Nazi Germany--a phenomenon unprecedented in the modern history of academic life. The essays in this volume examine whether that "exodus of reason" led to significant scientific change, and if so, how that change should be characterized. Written by a multidisciplinary group of German, British, and American scholars, the essays consider the natural and medical sciences, psychology, pedagogy and psychoanalysis as well as the social sciences.

Die Vertreibung zahlreicher Wissenschaftler durch das Hitler-Regime markiert nicht nur einen schmerzlichen politischen und sozialen Eingriff in die deutsche Geschichte, sondern schlagt ein besonderes Kapitel in der Wissenschaftsgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts auf. An der Gruppe der Politikwissenschaftler lasst sich sogar studieren, wie die Erfahrung der Emigration zum Promotor wurde, um eine moderne Wissenschaft von der Politik im Nachkriegsdeutschland erst auf den Weg zu bringen. Entscheidend dafur war die Konfrontation der juristisch gepragten deutschen Staatswissenschaft mit der andersartigen Disziplin der amerikanischen political science, die sich als der selbstbewusste Kern einer demokratischen Kulturtradition prasentierte. Der Autor folgt der eigenartigen wissenschaftlichen Wirkungsgeschichte dieser Gruppe uber vier Stationen - Weimarer Ausgangspunkt, Wanderung und Internationalisierung, Akkulturation in den USA, Ruckwirkung auf die Bundesrepublik - und entwirft das kollektivbiographische Bild einer politisch konditionierten Disziplingeschichte. Erganzt wird die Darstellung durch die erste Gesamtbibliographie der deutschen Politikwissenschaftler in der Emigration.
