Missratene Söhne

Anarchismus und Sprachkritik im Fin de Siècle

von Carolin Kosuch

390 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fritz Mauthner, Gustav Landauer and Erich Mühsam lived according to their own self-designed blueprints of resistance. These countermodels for life were aimed at the bourgeois world their fathers had helped to build (in the so-called Gründerzeit). They viewed rebellion and revolution as a suitable way of life. Carolin Kosuch shows, on the one hand, how these three thinkers from German-Jewish bourgeois families fled from a reality dominated by their fathers to a remote past; on the other hand, she points out how deeply rooted their synchronized efforts were in their common aspiration to overcome modernity. The study provides in-depth insights into the relationship between generational experience and critique of the real world.
