| Abstract
|
:
|
Examines the impact of the awareness of historicity on the concepts of modernity, identity, and culture as they developed in German thought around 1800. This work shows how this awareness determined the German notion of the priority of cultural identity. It traces the modification of the Enlightenment concepts of perfectibility.
