Beyond posthumanism : the German humanist tradition and the future of the humanities

Zusammenfassung: "Kant, Goethe, Schiller and other eighteenth-century German intellectuals loom large in the history of the humanities-both in terms of their individual achievements and their collective embodiment of the values that inform modern humanistic inquiry.
