Identity or History?: Marcus Herz and the End of the Enlightenment

by Martin L. Davies

This work attempts to make sense of the end of the 18th century when Enlightenment tradition and Romantic thought coincided for a brief time. It draws parallels with the life of the Jewish philosopher and doctor, Marcus Herz (1747-1803) and Prussian politics and culture of the time.
