Goethes Philosophie aus seinen Werken : ein Buch für jeden gebildeten Deutschen / mit ausführlicher Einleitung hrsg. von Max Heynacher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832
Book"Chinese Sympathies analyzes key German literary texts by placing scholarship on early modern Chinese empires and missionaries in conjunction with German media theory from the last twenty-five years (most notably, Friedrich Kittler). Daniel Leonhard Purdy traces a connection from Baroque-era missionary reports that accommodated Christianity with Confucianism to Goethe's concept of world literature, bridged by Enlightenment debates over cosmopolitanism and sympathy."-- Provided by publisher.
