Abstract
The 18th century marked the beginning of an age of innovation that continues to this day. At first glance, conflicts between old and the emergence of new powers as well as the beginning of a completely new, industrialized economy seem to be defining for this era. But preceding these, there were fundamental upheavals in art, culture, science and philosophy. It was this new way of thinking and feeling that enabled the emergence of modernity in the first place. “Die Gründung der Moderne” therefore not only offers a comprehensive overview of an underestimated century, its events and effects on all the powers of an already interconnected world. Rather, Joachim-Friedrich Kapp brings an entire epoch and its outstanding minds to new life.
