WEIMAR THOUGHT: A CONTESTED LEGACY - PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS 2013


WEIMAR THOUGHT
A Contested Legacy
edited by Peter E. Gordon & John P. McCormick
Princeton University Press, 2013

The book is divided into four thematic sections: law, politics, and society; philosophy, theology, and science; aesthetics, literature, and film; and general cultural and social themes of the Weimar period. The volume brings together established and emerging scholars from a remarkable array of fields, and each individual essay serves as an overview for a particular discipline while offering distinctive critical engagement with relevant problems and debates.
Whether used as an introductory companion or advanced scholarly resource, Weimar Thought provides insight into the rich developments behind the intellectual foundations of modernity.

McCormick is professor of political science at the University of Chicago. His books include Machiavellian Democracy and Weber, Habermas, and Transformations of the European State.
