Product Information
T he German Enlightenment is often held in disregard by those who see it as driven by an outdated theory of knowledge, an unrealistic idealist-utopian vision, and even an evil proto-totalitarian motivation. The present book by T. J. 'Jim' Reed presents a very different picture by focusing on relatively disregarded or "unknown" aspects of the German Enlightenment. The text is mindful throughout of the "twenty-first century relevance, not to say twenty-first century moral" of the specific themes and works it addresses. The book is significant far beyond the important concerns of other monographs on the Enlightenment for it takes into account the writers (such as Kant, Schiller, Goethe, and Lessing), and on occasion the rulers (such as Frederick the Great), who realized its ideas and values in philosophy, art, and politics. Light, for Reed, only dawns fully in their writing. This book is not a description of the Enlightenment narrowly defined as a movement in abstract thought, much less a catalogue of every last minor participant, but an account of the spread of light - that is, of lucid and active liberal thinking - wherever it can be found in German eighteenth-century culture. The emphasis is indeed on the last third of the century, what is commonly called "the late Enlightenment," not as a separate phase, but as a maturing of the branches of a single tree with its imaginative harvest. In short, this book brings to life the most significant episodes and arguments of the German Enlightenment, and shows them as scenes in a larger drama - at any moment, there is related action going on in another part of the field.

Reviews
This book is a pleasure to read. Reed, a most distinguished scholar of German literature, brings to his subject a lifetime of learning as well as strong convictions and a refined literary sensibility. Reading like a prolonged conversation, it ably demonstrates the many sources of light in eighteenth century Germany and how they can still illuminate our present., In beautifully formulated language, Reed, a distinguished scholar, expands on definitions of literature and culture in 18th-century Germany. Using Kant's essay 'What Is Enlightenment?' (1784), enriched by many other references, Reed offers a well-documented argument for wider acceptance of the idea that German contributions to this crucial decade are more rational than previously noted. Dealing with epistemology, history, politics, religion, cosmopolitanism, education, and more, the author offers new views of both canonical and neglected texts by authors such as Lessing, Goethe, and Schiller, while affirming their groundbreaking influence on European style and thought. . . . . Highly recommended., With this book, one of the most respected scholars in the field has written a passionate vindication of a passionate age, arguing in engaging, vigorous prose for its relevance to modern concerns. The German Enlightenment comes alive in all its aspects, questioning social, political, religious, and scientific norms and pushing the limits of reason itself; Reed also gives its contradictions a full account. Light in Germany is not only a sophisticated introduction for students and general readers but also an array of insightful interpretations, born of a lifetime of reading and thinking that will delight seasoned scholars., Set out in vigorous prose which combine incisiveness with nuance. Light in Germany is written with all the combative trenchancy which distinguished the author's twenty-year editorship of this magazine. It is based on deep familiarity with the literature of the period, and it is intellectually exhilarating to read., From philosophy to politics, and from literature to theology, from science to pedagogy, and from jurisprudence to historiography, Reed dazzles and instructs with his examples of liberal ideas. There is perhaps no other book on the subject, and certainly none so brief, which affords so fully rounded a picture of the age. Every page affords fresh insights. Enlightened rulers such as Frederick the Great and Joseph II are discussed alongside proselytizing writers like Christoph Martin Wieland and Karl Philip Moritz, or innovative thinkers such as the pedagogue Johann Bernhard Basedow and the inventor of the modem university, Wilhelm von Humboldt. Against the view that the Enlightenment failed, Reed amasses overwhelming testimony that it succeeded. Indeed, one of the great virtues of his book lies in its demonstrating the credibility of the Enlightenment's goals, by means of which he disposes of the mantra that the subsequent German catastrophe was inevitable., Remarkably generous to the writers who are under its spotlight. Erudite in its exposition of them, it is a helpful, timely and, not least, a punchy book, all of which make it well worth reading., Reed has done it again. With Light in Germany he has rendered invaluable service to all of those who cannot stop pondering the enigma of modern Germany. His wonderfully concrete and informed 'scenes from an unknown Enlightenment' compel us to reconsider the widespread disparagement of its philosophical, literary, and practical achievements by so many skeptics in the Anglophone world and in Germany itself. No small accomplishment!, "Remarkably generous to the writers who are under its spotlight. Erudite in its exposition of them, it is a helpful, timely and, not least, a punchy book, all of which make it well worth reading." , Set out in vigorous prose which combine incisiveness with nuance. Light in Germany is written with all the combative trenchancy which distinguished the author's twenty-year editorship of this magazine. It is based on deep familiarity with the literature of the period, and it is intellectually exhilarating to read.
