Peter Watson
‘A compelling, epic tale’ Financial Times
Peter Watson's magisterial sweep through modern German thought and culture confounds stereotypes that the world has of Germany, and Germany has of itself.
From the end of the Baroque age and the death of Bach to the rise of Hitler in 1933, Germany was transformed from a poor relation among Western nations into a dominant intellectual and cultural force in the Western world. In the early decades of the 20th century German artists, writers, philosophers, scholars, scientists and engineers were leading their country to new heights, and by 1933 Germany had won more Nobel prizes than any other nation, including Britain and America put together.
How did the Germans transform their country so as to achieve such pre-eminence? In this absorbing cultural and intellectual history, Peter Watson explores the origins of the German genius, and convincingly demonstrates that it was German thinking – from Beethoven and Kant to Diesel and Nietzsche, from Goethe and Wagner to Mendel and Planck, from Hegel and Marx to Freud and Schonberg – that has done more than anything else to create the modern West.

批評家のレビュー
'Here we have an encyclopaedic survey in which every famour German artist and thinker, and many who should be more famous than they are, finds a place'
'A compelling, epic tale of how a nation that was one of the least-developed in western Europe in the mid-18th century became one of the most rich, powerful and cultured, right up until the calamity of National Socialism'
'A tour de force . . . This intelligent book presents a breath-taking panorama. Let us hope that it suceeds in its aim and stimulates a wider and deeper engagement with the country of Kant, Beethoven, Einstein and Habermas' (Christopher Clark)
'A journalist of heroic industry . . . Watson is never not good company . . . [He] derives the German genius from deep springs'
'The reason Peter Watson gives for writing this long intellectual history of Germany since 1750 is a convincing one; that British obsession with Nazism has blinded many British people to the achievements of German culture . . . An introduction to other German history is welcome' (Alexander Starritt)
'A joy, for its ambition, its seriousness and its moral integrity'
'[An] eight-hundred-and-fifty-page love letter to the all-stars of the Teutonic intellect . . . His élan generates its own momentum'
'A powerful and vivid opus . . . Watson's story is brimming with life. You can barely put the book aside'
'No one who reads this book can be left in any doubt as to the reality of 'the German Genius' proclaimed by the title. He has an enviable gift of explaning lucidly and cogently ideas that are complicated or profound (or both). The Germans may well 'dive deeper but come up muddier', as Wickham Steed famously observed, but Watson strips off the ordure with crisp common sense . . . everyone interested in the sufferings and greatness of modern culture will be informed, entertained and provoked by it'
'A 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 . . . [including] compressed summaries of some exceedingly difficult ideas. The range of subjects is impressive, from painters to physicists'
