Goethe's Image Of Man And Society is a comprehensive exploration of the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's ideas on human nature and society. Written by Arnold Bergstraesser, a noted German political scientist and philosopher, the book delves into Goethe's works and correspondence to uncover his thoughts on topics such as ethics, politics, religion, and art.Bergstraesser argues that Goethe's views on these subjects were shaped by his belief in the unity of nature and the interconnectedness of all things. Goethe saw the individual as part of a larger whole, and believed that society should be organized in a way that allows individuals to pursue their own goals while contributing to the common good. He also believed in the importance of education and self-cultivation, and saw art as a means of expressing and exploring the complexities of human experience.Throughout the book, Bergstraesser provides detailed analysis of Goethe's ideas, drawing on a wide range of sources including Goethe's poetry, novels, and scientific writings. He also situates Goethe's thought within the broader intellectual and cultural context of his time, highlighting the influence of Enlightenment philosophy, Romanticism, and German Idealism.Overall, Goethe's Image Of Man And Society offers a nuanced and insightful portrait of one of the most important figures in German literature and culture, and sheds light on the enduring relevance of his ideas to contemporary debates about human nature and society.This is a new release of the original 1949 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
