( ) "The German predicament is not easy and the arguments in this book will not please everyone. It is to those who find it difficult to move beyond Hitler that the German Genius is dedicated." Danke, Peter Watson! Damit widmest du es sehr vielen, darunter vielen Politikern und Journalisten. Die hätten diese Lektüre bitter nötig. An dem Buch habe ich zweieinhalb Jahre herumgewerkt. Ich sollte bei military history bleiben. Der Inhalt ist sehr umfassend, es zeigt viele Details und nennt Namen. Viele der Bereiche fand ich spannend, aber bei den Kapiteln zur Kulturgeschichte habe ich öfter den Faden verloren, und die Lust, das Buch zu nehmen und weiter zu lesen. Was gebe ich nun als Bewertung? Zweieinhalb Jahre für 900 Seiten? Da spricht für einen oder zwei Sterne. Die (für mich) faden Passagen ignorieren und schon bin ich bei vier oder fünf. Also gebe ich vier Sterne mit dem Hinweis, dass man in der Mitte beim Schnelldurchlauf auch die eine oder andere Disziplin nur überfliegen muss und nicht genau lesen. An almost limitless source of information about the men and ideas that contributed to Germany's preeminence in culture, science, and the humanities ever since the middle of the eighteenth century. All the big names are here along with many others that you should know about due to their impact on our world. I find this a never-ending source of education and a resource to provide context for other reading.
By 1900, nearly everyone agreed that there was something special about the Germans. Their philosophy was more profound -- to a fault. So was their music. Their scientists and engineers were clearly the best. Their soldiers were unmatched. ... ''The German Genius'' is a lengthy compilation of essential German contributions to philosophy, theology, mathematics, natural and social science and the arts since 1750. Watson enshrines a vast pantheon of creative thinkers, not dwelling very long on any of them.
