It soon became appar­ ent that a re-examination of the entire Goethe-Rousseau problem was advisable. Many circumstances (among them, frequently, "the challenge of the day," to quote Goethe) combined to delay completion of the in­ vestigation; nevertheless, it has thereby acquired a broader scope and prof­ ited from numerous publications of recent date. Direct quotations of prose passages are given in English translations which, with occasional minor exceptions, are my own. In the case of titles, verse, and short expressions of special import, the original is retained. For Goethe, except as otherwise noted, I have followed the Weimar edition (containing all his extant references to Rousseau, outside of those re­ ported in the conversations or correspondence of others) . I have used the Du Pont edition of Rousseau's works, because of its readable print, in preference to the more usually quoted Hachette version. Completeness of bibliography-so immense in the case of both writers-plainly defies attainment. Still, I believe that in my search ex­ tending through two decades I have missed relatively few pertinent items, and hardly any that would have altered the picture essentially. To the late Professor Albert W. Aron, of the University of Illinois, I am indebted for his having inspired me to undertake this investigation. I gratefully acknowledge generous research grants from Louisiana State University and Texas Tech University. It is a pleasure to express my obli­ gation to the librarians of the following universities: Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Texas, Tulane, and Yale, and of the Library of Congress for their assistance. With sincere appreciation I mention the perennial en­ couragement received from two former colleagues, Professor John G. Frank, formerly of American University, and Dr. John T. Krumpel­ mann, Professor Emeritus of German, Louisiana State University, as well as from my present colleague, Professor Theodor W. Alexander. Finally, I thank the sponsors of the Kentucky Foreign Language Conference for honoring me with the first annual Conference Award. VII Explanation of Page References Sources of quotations from Goethe and Rousseau are indicated (usually in the text) as follows: W.A. I = "Weimarer Ausgabe," first section (Werke, or literary works). Volume and page numbers are listed by Arabic numerals, with a colon between them; e.g., 16:301. W.A. I, 16:301 is therefore a typical reference to Goethe's creative writings, except that line numbers are given for quotations from poems and verse dramas. A superscript means that the volume has two parts; thus W.A. I, 25 1 signifies volume 25, part 1. W.A. II (containing the scientific works) is similarly quoted. For the diaries (W.A. III), letters (W.A. IV), and conversations (from various sources), only the dates are cited. In exceptional instances the "Gedenkausgabe" is listed, as for example, G.A., 6:240. In the case of Rousseau, O.C. = "CEuvres completes," edited by Musset-Pathay, with designation of volume and page like that for Goethe's works; viz., O.C., 9:442. On occasions when the Musset-Pathay edition was not accessible, single-volume texts of the "Classiques Garnier" were quoted (as C.G.). Introduction Within the scholarship of comparative literature there is, of course, a plethora of "influence studies," so much so that one hesitates to add an­ other such item to the bibliography. The cultural relationship between such giants as Goethe and Rousseau is of such obvious importance, how­ ever, that it merits investigation, despite the critical dangers involved. The linkage has been attempted before and remains a debated topic of Franco-German literary relations. For more than a century the popular view held that Goethe's interest in Rousseau ended with the "Sturm und Drang" era, and echoes of this now outmoded notion still persist. Rous­ seau remained a vital inspirational force for Goethe during Goethe's en­ tire lifetime, as comparative study of Goethe's post-Werther works will demonstrate. The review of literature on this subject reveals the limited scope and fragmentation of previous research, despite the clash of view­ point, and highlights the timeliness of a comprehensive treatment. Fortunately, changes in the contemporary images of Rousseau and Goethe simplify a discussion of Rousseau's lifelong importance for Goethe. The Rousseaubild of our time, created by Bernard Groethuysen,l Jean Guehenno,2 Leon Emery,3 and others, is more sympathetic than the nineteenth-century image depicted by Saint-Marc Girardin,4 Jules Le­ maitre,5 and Georg Brandes. 6 The gradual trend toward a better under­ standing of Rousseau received new impetus from the founding of the Societe Jean-Jacques Rousseau at Geneva in 1905.7 Likewise, today's concept of Goethe is more realistic than that of 1900. Late nineteenth-century scholars of the positivistic school too often represented Goethe as conforming to their own moral stringency. To a "human, all-too human" portrait of the author of the Confessions they opposed an "Olympian" Goethe, whose foibles had to be glossed over, if not ignored completely. That mistaken idea, though long in vogue, is now wholly outdated in favor of a Goethe no longer elevated to Jovian heights, but viewed instead on a more human level.8 Emil Staiger,9 Heinrich Meyer,10 Barker Fairley,U and Albert Fuchs/2 to name but a few, have helped to make this change. 1 GOETHE AND ROUSSEAU To chase after direct influence, as Erich Schmidt and his contempo­ raries were fond of doing, contradicts the whole mode of thinking of a man like Goethe, who derogatorily used the foreign word "Influenz" instead of the German "Einfluss." The octogenarian Goethe assured Eckermann (December 16, 1828) that the question of a famous author's originality was ridiculous, insisting: "We indeed possess inherent capa­ bilities, but we owe our development to a thousand influences of a great world from which we appropriate what we can and what is suited to us. I owe much to the Greeks and the French; I have become infinitely in­ debted to Shakespeare, Sterne, and Goldsmith. Yet the sources of my culture are not established by that; it would lead one endlessly afield, and would not be necessary, either. The important thing is that one should have a soul that loves the true and takes it where it finds it." This quotation indicates that Goethe was strongly aware of a problem which is still controversial in comparative literature circles and reminds us that one might well essay a medial objectivity toward the extreme poles of opinion about the extent of Rousseau's impact upon Goethe. Ulrich Weisstein summarizes the dangerous aspects of influence-seeking, calling the concept of literary influence the "Schliisselbegriff" of all comparative investigations. It presupposes the existence of two works: the one from which it proceeds and the one it affectsP Weisstein insists that one can­ not speak of influence in the literal sense of studies of analogies and par­ allels, since at most it is a matter of affinities (p. 95), and he urges observance of an equilibrium between rapports exh~rieurs and rapports interieurs ( p. 102). This book attempts to preserve that equilibrium. The introductory discussions of the Rousseaukult in Goethe's Germany, Geothe's ac­ quaintance with eighteenth-century French literature, and his recorded comments about Rousseau constitute rapports exterieurs. The correspon­ dences between the actual works of the two writers, especially affinities where there is no indication of direct influence, lend a balance as rapports interieurs. It seems advisable, then, to subdivide the term "influence" by sep­ arating probable but less easily provable points of contact from those which Goethe recognized and acknowledged. We shall deal here with: 1 ) general similarities in personal experience and character as well as in style, motifs, and characterization; 2) instances of Goethe's adopting specific ideas to which Rousseau gave currency, but which may have 2 INTRODUCTION reached Goethe indirectly; 3) Goethe's specific admission of conscious use of Rousseau's ideas, formulations, and phraseology.

At the centre of the Route Charlemagne is the former palace complex of Charlemagne, with the Katschhof, the Town Hall and the Cathedral still bearing witness today of a site that formed the focal point of the first empire of truly European proportions. Aachen is a historical town, a centre of science and learning, and a European city whose story can be seen as a history of Europe. This story, along with other major themes like religion, power, economy and media, are all reflected and explored in places like the Cathedral and the Town Hall, the International Newspaper Museum, the Grashaus, Haus Löwenstein, the Couven-Museum, the Axis of Science, the SuperC of the RWTH Aachen University and the Elisenbrunnen. The central starting point of the Route Charlemagne is the Centre Charlemagne, the new city museum located on the Katschhof between the Town Hall and the Cathedral.

  • Augustine and Rousseau on the Politics of Confession
    Augustine and Rousseau on the Politics of Confession by Taylor Putnam A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Taylor Putnam Abstract This thesis looks at the widely acknowledged but largely unexplored relationship between Augustine’s Confessions and Rousseau’s Confessions. In particular, it argues that Rousseau’s text demonstrates an indebtedness to both Augustine’s treatment of time within eternity and the political figure of the Christian preacher. By first comparing their competing interpretations of original sin as told in Genesis and then tracing those interpretations through the autobiographical narratives of each text, it is argued that Augustine and Rousseau both offer their lives as examples of their respective understandings of human nature. Further still, Rousseau’s attempt to supplant Augustine’s autobiography with his own sees the Augustinian preacher reformulated into the figure of the solitary walker. As a result, what was a politics of the will restrained by the temporal horizon of man becomes unleashed as the imposition of the timeless imagination. i Acknowledgments I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Newell for his willingness to have me as a graduate student and for supervising my thesis. He generously provided me with the opportunity to pursue this education and I will be forever thankful for it. I would also like to thank Professor Darby for being my second reader and, more importantly, for his unwavering support throughout my degree. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents who in their wisdom gave me the freedom to fail and demystified what is required to learn.
