Description: "Narrating Community after Kant makes an important statement about discourses on community in German intellectual culture around 1800, demonstrating that aesthetic community is always a work in progress while challenging those who invoke "community" as the foundation of permanent institutions. It sheds new critical light on these classical thinkers and shows how their ideas can serve as a rich resource for our own thinking about community.

This book will prove insightful to students and scholars interested in German literary, philosophical, and cultural studies."--BOOK JACKET.
