Produktbeschreibung
The intellectual class is a permanent and much-discussed historical factor. Its emergence, development, its zenith and crisis reflect the evolution of modern European society. Moscow historian Denis Sdvizkov traces the development of an intellectual class and its identity from the times of enlightenment up to the first world war, concentrating on France, Germany, Poland and Russia.Is it possible to speak of the intellectual class?
