This page intentionally left blank PHILOSOPHY AND GERMAN LITERATURE – Although the importance of the interplay of literature and philosophy in Germany has often been examined within individual works or groups of works by particular authors, little research has been undertaken into the broader dialogue of German literature and philosophy as a whole Philosophy and German Literature – offers six chapters by leading specialists on the dialogue between German literary writers and philosophers through their works The volume shows that German literature, far from being the mouthpiece of a dour philosophical culture dominated by the great names of Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Heidegger and Habermas, has much more to offer: while possessing a high affinity with philosophy it explores regions of human insight and experience beyond philosophy’s ken N I C H O L A S S A U L is Professor of German and Head of Department at the University of Liverpool He is the author of Poetry and History in
