The Romantic Idea of the Golden Age in Friedrich Schlegel's Philosophy of History (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The nineteenth-century Romantic understanding of history is often confused with the longing for the past Golden Age. In this book, the Golden Age is seen from a new angle by discussing it in the context of the works of Friedrich Schlegel, who saw it not as bygone, but to be produced in the future.
