Hardback. Condition: New. How Frederick the Great and George Washington embody the competition between liberal democracy and authoritarianismBoth Frederick the Great and George Washington saw themselves as model rulers exemplifying different modes of enlightened governance. Frederick, absolute ruler of Prussia, styled himself as… the embodiment of "enlightenment from above"; Washington, as the first president of the United States, held himself accountable to Congress, with the power of the presidency subject to checks and balances. In this unique study, Jürgen Overhoff traces the parallel lives of two of the most important and influential statesmen of the eighteenth century, from their early years to their ascension to political power and their historical legacies. Overhoff considers the significance of each man not only in the context of his own country but in the larger geopolitical space of Atlantic history.Overhoff describes how Washington admired Frederick's actions during the Seven Years' War (also known as the French and Indian War) in the 1750s, when Frederick allied with the British and North Americans. Later, Frederick was impressed by Washington's leadership of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Prussia and the United States even signed a friendship treaty after the war. But, as Overhoff shows, the two men had very different ideas about the principles of the Enlightenment, monarchy, and democracy. Despite his Enlightenment bona fides, Frederick ruled Prussia by edict and decree, always with the goal of maintaining his own power. Washington famously stepped down after two terms in office. Overhoff argues convincingly that the political trajectories of Frederick and Washington shed light on the contemporary clash between authoritarianism and democracy.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Was denn - ein König, der dichtet? In vielen seiner Briefe und Gedichte stellt sich Friedrich der Große selbst diese von Verblüffung zeugende Frage. Auch wir wissen bis heute kaum etwas über sein poetisches Talent. Bei einer Lektüre seiner Gedichte, in d…enen der König sich mitunter flehentlich an die Nachwelt wendet, weil er von den Nachgeborenen auch über seinen Tod hinaus gerecht und als vielschichtige Persönlichkeit beurteilt zu werden wünscht, erfährt der Leser manches Unbekannte über Friedrichs intimste Sehnsüchte, aber auch über die philosophischen und sittlichen Maßstäbe seiner aufgeklärten Lebensführung. Der liebevoll gestaltete Band bietet eine Auswahl der schönsten Gedichte Friedrichs des Großen aus allen seinen Lebensphasen, sowohl in der französischen Originalfassung als auch in meisterhaften, zwischen dem 18. und 21. Jahrhundert angefertigten Übertragungen in die deutsche Sprache.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Das Leben des Aufklärers Johann Bernhard Basedow - prägnant und spannend erzählt.Johann Bernhard Basedow, Erziehungsschriftsteller und Bildungsreformer aus Hamburg, wurde bereits zu Lebzeiten von Goethe und Kant als wegweisender Aufklärer gerühmt. Die fortschrittsorientierten Zeitgenossen, die ihn…in den höchsten Tönen lobten, sahen in dem Pädagogen einen Vorkämpfer der wichtigsten Ideale des 18. Jahrhunderts: religiöse Toleranz und universale Menschenliebe, für die er so mutig und konsequent wie nur wenige eintrat.Sein Lebensziel war es, in Deutschland eine ganz neuartige Lehranstalt zu errichten, in der Kinder aus allen Nationen und Religionsgemeinschaften gemeinsam und gleichberechtigt lernen sollten. Nach ersten Unterrichtsexperimenten im dänischen Sorö und in Altona verwirklichte er seinen Lebenstraum im Jahr 1774 im Fürstentum Anhalt-Dessau mit der Gründung des Dessauer Philanthropins, einer in ganz Europa gefeierten Musterschule der Aufklärung. Durch seine stilbildenden pädagogischen Innovationen wurde Basedow zum Wegbereiter einer freiheitlichen Moderne. 200 pp. Deutsch.
