内容简介

The Early Political Writings of the German Romantics contains all the essential political writings of Friedrich Schlegel,Schleiermacher and Novealis during the formative period of romantic thought(1797 to 1803).
While the political thought of the German romantics has been generally recognized as important,it has been little studied,and most of the texts have been until now unavailable in English.The early romantics had an ambition still relevant to contemporaty political thought:to find a middle path between conservatism and liberalism,between an ethic of community and the freedom of the individual.
