Product Description
This book reconsiders Friedrich Naumann as he must have been in his day. It provides an exciting introduction to this fascinating personality from the later years of the Second Empire, a time in which diverse currents came together in their agitation for modernity and renewal. With his sure command of language, Naumann pinpointed these trends and his own demands for reform. The volume contains papers by historians and theologians on the following topics: the will to shape politics as a Christian responsibility; social liberalism in an organized world; Capitalism and liberalism in cultural discourse; transformations in the Great War and the Weimar Republic; and work and influence.
