Wo sind die kritischen Streiter, die geistigen Kraftzentren, die die Debatten über die EU, Pandemiegesetze oder die Zukunft der Demokratie anführen? Sind sie im Medienwandel untergegangen? Auf welche Weise haben die Intellektuellen den europäischen Einigungsprozess beeinflusst? Und was tun sie heute in der Corona-Krise? Haben sie Europa verlassen? Gar verraten, wie schon Julien Benda vor gut 100 Jahre meinte? Es gibt sie nicht mehr, jedenfalls als Typus. Dies ist ein enormer kultureller und politischer Verlust. Faust oder Mephisto - auf diesen Mythos überträgt Willi Jasper die intellektuelle Krise Europas. Die wirtschaftliche und politische Vorherrschaft Deutschlands steht für Faust: die antiintellektuelle Funktionalisierung der Macht. Doch wenn wir eine lebendige transnationale europäische Demokratie wollen, brauchen wir den freien, einklagenden, kritischen Geist. Er gehört zu Politik und Gesellschaft wie Mephisto zu Faust. Übernehmen die neuen "Medienintellektuellen" sein Erbe?

Lusitania
EN HC NWISBN: 9780300221381 bzw. 030022138X, in Englisch, Yale University Press, gebundenes Buch, neu.
A fascinating reassessment of a turning point in the First World War, revealing its role in shaping the German psyche On May 7, 1915, the Lusitania, a large British luxury liner, was sunk by a German submarine off the Irish coast. Nearly 1,200 people, including 128 American citizens, lost their lives. The sinking of a civilian passenger vessel without warning was a scandal of international scale and helped precipitate the United States' decision to enter the conflict. It also led to the immediate vilification of Germany. Though the ship's sinking has preoccupied historians and the general public for over a century, until now the German side of the story has been largely untold. Drawing on varied German sources, historian Willi Jasper provides a comprehensive reappraisal of the sinking and its aftermath that focuses on the German reaction and psyche. The attack on the Lusitania, he argues, was not simply an escalation of violence but signaled a new ideological, moral, and religious dimension in the struggle between German Kultur and Western civilization.
