"De l'Allemagne; t. 2" by Madame de Staël is a literary and philosophical essay published in 1813. This ambitious work explores German culture, literature, arts, philosophy, and religion, offering French readers a comprehensive introduction to a world beyond the Rhine. Staël champions German intellectual achievements while critiquing French rationalism's suppression of sentiment and enthusiasm. Censored by Napoleon and destroyed in 1810, the work finally appeared after his fall. Through detailed examinations of
thinkers like Kant, Goethe, and Schiller, she advocates for renewed sensibility and freedom of expression. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
