Reinhart Koselleck – Aufklärer der Aufklärung oder Stratege kultureller Hegemonie?

Abstract

Abstract On the occasion of Koselleck’s hundredth birthday, this article examines the history of the reception and impact of the book that established the historian’s fame from 1973 onward. It argues that Koselleck pursues a new-right strategy of cultural hegemony in more than one respect, which has been largely overlooked so far.
