Overview

English summary: The concept of revolution occupies a prominent place in how modern societies understand themselves. The French and American revolutions, which essentially rested on a declaration of human rights, both gave the meaning of antiquity a place of prominence, especially in the idea that they had experienced a break with the past. In the Old and New Worlds, ideals about human society were projected into antiquity in order to elevate and criticize the achievements of the present. This present volume investigates the relationship between humanism and revolution from the American and European perspective: the elements of humanism, the relationship of politics and law, of art and politics, the Scientific Revolution as well as the geography of humanism and the connections between Europe and the New World are all discussed in this context. What repercussions did these various developments have for the idea of humanism? How current is the humanism of the 18th century? German description: Der Revolutionsbegriff nimmt im Selbstverstandnis der Moderne einen prominenten Stellenwert ein. Mit den Revolutionen in Amerika und Frankreich, die sich wesentlich auf die Erklarung der Menschenrechte stutzen, kommt der Antike eine herausragende Bedeutung zu: Der Bezug auf sie erlaubt den Bruch mit der Vergangenheit. In der Alten und Neuen Welt werden antike Ideale humanen Selbstverstandnisses entworfen, um die Errungenschaften der Gegenwart zu uberhohen und zu kritisieren. Der vorliegende Band untersucht aus europaischer und amerikanischer Perspektive das Verhaltnis von Humanismus und Revolution: Erortert werden die Grundlagen des Humanismus, das Verhaltnis von Politik und Recht, von Kunst und Politik, die wissenschaftliche Revolution wie auch die Geographie des Humanismus in der Beziehung von Europa und Neuer Welt. Welche Ruckwirkungen erbringen diese Konzeptionen fur die Idee des Humanismus? Wie aktuell ist der Humanismus des 18. Jahrhunderts?
