Sinopsis

This book, originally published in 1992, traces the discourse on the French Revolution in Germany and its contributors investigate the processes and results of adopting or rejecting the values of the French Revolution in Germany and reinterprets its documents in terms of their internalization. One of the questions discussed is whether the French Revolution is part of GermanyâÇÖs progressive tradition, that is, whether it has been repressed or whether it constitutes a viable counter-discourse within the political culture. The first successful revolution in Germany - the âÇÖVelvet RevolutionâÇÖ of Autumn 1989 does not fit the definition of âÇÖclassic revolutions, but it ended in a change of power in Germany and in that respect, this book is an anatomy of German political consciousness before 1989. á
