Rehlinghaus, Franziska
Die Semantik des Schicksals

Zur Relevanz des Unverfügbaren zwischen Aufklärung und Erstem Weltkrieg.

Franziska Rehlinghaus shows that since its establishment around 1650 the German idea of fate ('Schicksal') was a central concept for dealing with the respective problems of each era. Indeed, one can speak of modern times as the 'Fatalistic Age'. The author reconstructs the semantic and functional changes as well as the conjunctures this term underwent from the time of the Enlightenment to the beginning of the 20th century. 479 Seiten, gebunden (Historische Semantik; Band 22/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2015) Mängelexemplarstempel auf Schnitt, leicht angeschmutzt
