Publisher's Synopsis
Selections From Treitschke's Lectures On Politics (1914) is a book written by Heinrich Von Treitschke, a German historian, political philosopher, and nationalist. The book is a collection of Treitschke's lectures on politics, which were delivered at the University of Berlin between 1863 and 1894. The lectures cover a wide range of topics, including the role of the state, the nature of democracy, the importance of nationalism, and the relationship between politics and religion. Treitschke was known for his controversial views on politics, particularly his belief in the superiority of the German race and his advocacy for German expansionism. The book reflects these views, as Treitschke argues for a strong, centralized state and a powerful military. He also criticizes liberalism and socialism, which he sees as threats to the stability and unity of the state. Despite its controversial content, Selections From Treitschke's Lectures On Politics is an important historical document, providing insight into the political and intellectual climate of late 19th century Germany. The book has been influential in shaping German political thought, and has been cited by both supporters and critics of Treitschke's ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
