This study traces how Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), founder of
Anthroposophy and the Waldorf schools, and the sociologist Max
Weber (1864-1920) confronted the societal transformations in
fin-de-siecle Germany as their primary identity marker - Bildung or
self-formation - began to break down. The book documents the German
bourgeoisie's failure to modernise as an « imagined community,
shedding new light on the larger question about the
interrelationship of science, religion, and culture by situating
Weber's and Steiner's work into the broader context of the
sociocultural and socio-political transformations during which it
was created. Moreover, by exploring the influences across
disciplines in a historical context the book provides insight into
the cultural implications of new social science and religion at the
beginning of the twentieth century.
This volume, composed mainly of papers given at the 1999
conferences of the Forum for German Language Studies (FGLS) at Kent
and the Conference of University Teachers of German (CUTG) at
Keele, is devoted to differential yet synergetic treatments of the
German language. It includes corpus-lexicographical, computational,
rigorously phonological, historical/dialectal, comparative,
semiotic, acquisitional and pedagogical contributions. In all, a
variety of approaches from the rigorously 'pure' and formal to the
applied, often feeding off each other to focus on various aspects
of the German language.
