    Hardback. Condizione: 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.…

    Buch. Condizione: 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.…

    Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. 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, Juergen 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 Fredericks 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 Washingtons 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.
