Description

Explore the evolution of human psychology and ethics in the 18th century with this scholarly work from De Gruyter. As the focus of morality shifted from consequences to intention, the study of the human psyche became a central theme in German-language literature. This volume examines how moral philosophy, social ethics, and anthropology addressed the challenges of understanding the individual. Through historical analysis, the book systematizes the arguments used during the late Enlightenment period. It specifically traces these reflections through moral narratives and the emergence of character descriptions starting around 1750. This academic resource provides a deep look into how literature was used to teach morality and reflect the complex debates regarding human nature and social behavior during this transformative era.
