This book examines how democracy was rethought in Germany in the wake of National Socialism, the Second World War and the Holocaust. The book focuses on a diverse network of intellectuals in post-war Germany and a distinctive vision of renewal that spanned the East-West divide.

Sean A. Forner is a historian of twentieth-century Europe and Germany interested in the intersections of intellectual history and the history of political culture. His primary focus is on post-war ideas and practices of democracy, especially in moments when debate and experimentation intensified (for example, around 1945, 1956, 1968 and 1989). He also has long-standing interests in memory and representation, social and political thought, and historical methods. His teaching ranges from surveys of the European Union and twentieth-century Europe to upper-level topical courses and a graduate seminar on social theory and historiography.
