Undoubtedly, the most important and shocking political event of the XVIII. Century - called the “Great” by the posterity – was the French Revolution of 1789. It defined the political thinking of not only its immediate contemporaries but also the generations that followed it. The artistic and philosophical trend, later called Romanticism, was partly a reaction to the French Revolution and the Enlightenment, and partly a consequence. The conference analyzes the thinking of authors who are mainly critical of the political, social, philosophical and general changes in of worldview induced by the French Revolution, using methods of intellectual history and political theory. German critics will come to the fore primarily, but not exclusively.
