批判与危机

简介

Koselleck submitted “Kritik und Krise” as his dissertation in Heidelberg in 1954 and published it in 1959. The book begins with Hobbes: the absolutist state ended the confessional civil wars by placing politics above conscience and leaving morality to the private sphere. In that sphere – the Republic of Letters, the Masonic lodges, the societies of the Enlightenment – a criticism of the state developed that claimed to be moral and unpolitical and so, in Koselleck’s account, concealed its own political character; the philosophy of history turned this criticism into a promise about the future, and the crisis it produced became revolution. Koselleck regarded Carl Schmitt as a mentor of the work; Habermas reviewed it critically in 1960. An English translation appeared in 1988.
