    Hardback. Condition: 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.…

    Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. In seiner elegant geschriebenen, der ersten deutschen Franklin-Biographie seit dem Ende der Weimarer Republik, erzählt Jürgen Overhoff das wechselvolle Leben des großen, vor 300 Jahren geborenen amerikanischen Aufklärers und Universalgenies. Als Sohn eines Bostoner Seifensieders wurde Benjamin Franklin nicht nur einer der berühmtesten Naturforscher seiner Zeit, sondern zugleich auch bedeutender Staatsmann der jungen, von ihm mitgegründeten USA. Damit ist er das klassische Beispiel eines Selfmademan, der sein Leben trotz bescheidener Anfänge durch Fleiß, harte Arbeit und Geschick erfolgreich zu meistern versteht und zugleich dem Gemeinwohl dient. Der Autor verweist immer wieder auf die nachhaltige Wirkung, die Franklins Lebenswerk auch auf Politik und Wissenschaft in Deutschland ausübte. In seinem vielschichtigen und auf unveröffentlichte Quellen zurückgreifenden Porträt erinnert der Autor an die bleibende Bedeutung eines ganz außergewöhnlichen Lebenswerkes.…

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.
