Affirmation und Kritik des modernen Zeitregimes bei Friedrich Schiller, Heinrich Heine und Gottfried Keller : Konzeptionen von Zeit und Geschichte 1789–1890

Abstract

Since the eighteenth century, societies have been increasingly orienting the way they think and act around the future. This is not the result of a natural process, but can be attributed to a complex discursive formation: the modern temporal regime. This study outlines the positions toward this key concept of modernity taken by Friedrich Schiller, Heinrich Heine, and Gottfried Keller, which oscillate between affirmation and critique.
