About the book

Since the heyday of Weimar classicism, Germany has tried to distinguish herself through cultural achievements & aspirations from the merely 'civilized' West. High culture was seen thereby as a compensation for or as an alternative to politics. This text looks at the relationship between German politics & culture.
