Description
During the Allied bombing of Germany, Hitler was more distressed
by the loss of cultural treasures than by the leveling of homes. Remarkably, his propagandists broadcast this fact,
convinced that it would reveal not his callousness but his sensitivity: the destruction had failed to crush his
artist’s spirit. It is impossible to begin to make sense of this thinking without understanding what Wolf
Lepenies calls The Seduction of Culture in German History.This fascinating and unusual book tells the story of an
arguably catastrophic German habit–that of valuing cultural achievement above all else and envisioning it as a
noble substitute for politics. Lepenies examines how this tendency has affected German history from the late eighteenth
century to today. He argues that the German preference for art over politics is essential to understanding the peculiar
nature of Nazism, including its aesthetic appeal to many Germans (and others) and the fact that Hitler and many in his
circle were failed artists and intellectuals who seem to have practiced their politics as a substitute form of art.

In a series of historical, intellectual, literary, and artistic vignettes told in an essayistic style full of
compelling aphorisms, this wide-ranging book pays special attention to Goethe and Thomas Mann, and also contains
brilliant discussions of such diverse figures as Novalis, Walt Whitman, Leo Strauss, and Allan Bloom. The Seduction of
Culture in German History is concerned not only with Germany, but with how the German obsession with culture, sense of
cultural superiority, and scorn of politics have affected its relations with other countries, France and the United
States in particular.
