The German Economy: National, European, and Global Contexts

Two modern terms, History & Progress, are both very familiar & perpetually in flux. This course starts with excerpts from Hegel's Philosophy of History, where they are synthesized--& with Marx's inversion of that synthesis through the concepts of materialism & revolution. With that, a German intellectual tradition is launched, ceaselessly re-imagining "revolution" & re-defining the meanings of social existence. We will read texts by Nietzsche, Lukacs, Benjamin, Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse & Habermas. Civilization, freedom, individualism, socialism, critique, reification: sometimes these notions fade into the background of 21st century consciousness, only to be jolted forward again by events. In this course we learn how inseparable they are from modernity as such.
