M oritz von B rescius . German Science in the Age of Empire
In German Science in the Age of Empire, Moritz von Brescius explores the “logics and contradictions of transnational science” through the expeditions and exploits of the Bavaria-born Schlagintweit brothers (3). While little-remembered today, the brothers found themselves at the center of international controversy in the latter half of the 1850s, and the debates over their methods and findings played a crucial role in the development of field scie…
The Creuzerstreit and Hegel's Philosophy of History
Jon Stewart has recently argued that Hegel's defense of Friedrich Creuzer's controversial Symbolik should give us pause to reconsider the widely held view of Hegel's philosophy as racist and Eurocentric. More attention needs to be paid, however, to the strategy that Hegel employs in this defense. This article argues for the influence of Aristotle's theory of epigenesis on Hegel's philosophy of nature as well as his understanding of the stages of …
Vishwa Adluri and Joydeep Bagchee. The Nay Science
In The Nay Science: A History of German Indology, Vishwa Adluri and Joydeep Bagchee argue that German Indology, as it emerged as an academic discipline in the nineteenth century, was grounded in the tradition of Protestant biblical criticism that traced its roots back to Martin Luther. Despite the claims of its practitioners to an objective, universal, secularized, scientific method, the authors identify and examine the persistence of an evangeli…
Nina Berman. German Literature on the Middle East
Nina Berman sets herself no small task in this book. Not only does she take on almost a thousand years of literary history, she stages an “intervention” (p. 7) of sorts for a discourse theory that has too often lost sight of its grounding in concrete political, social, and economic realities. The result of this study, she hopes, will be twofold: on the one hand, a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between “textual discourses …
Self-Othering in German Orientalism
Self-Othering in German OrientalismThe Case of Friedrich Schlegel Nicholas A. Germana In the 1960s and ’70s, a number of scholars began to pay careful attention to German cultural constructions of the “Orient” in the literary and philosophical works from the Baroque period to Romanticism.1 However, with the publication of Orientalism (1978), Edward Said’s analytical framework became, for good or ill, the dominant scholarly paradigm. In the wake o…
The Orient of Europe
August Wilhelm Schlegel proclaimed that [i]f the regeneration of the human species started in the East, Germany must be considered the Orient of Europe. How can this remarkable identification of Germany with the subjugated oriental 'other' be explained? In The Orient of Europe, Nicholas A. Germana explores how German thinkers, especially those associated with the Early Romantic movement, set India up as an ideal mirror, in which they could percei…
