German Intellectuals and the Challenge of Democratic Renewal

This book examines how democracy was rethought in Germany in the wake of National Socialism, the Second World War and the Holocaust. The book focuses on a diverse network of intellectuals in post-war Germany and a distinctive vision of renewal that spanned the East-West divide.

Autor

Sean A. Forner is a historian of twentieth-century Europe and Germany interested in the intersections of intellectual history and the history of political culture. His primary focus is on post-war ideas and practices of democracy, especially in moments when debate and experimentation intensified (for example, around 1945, 1956, 1968 and 1989). He also has long-standing interests in memory and representation, social and political thought, and historical methods. His teaching ranges from surveys of the European Union and twentieth-century Europe to upper-level topical courses and a graduate seminar on social theory and historiography.
