- Abstract
The work of the poet, philosopher, and cultural critic Rudolf Pannwitz nowadays is rarely studied. He connects the critique of Modernity in the Nietzschean sense, as critique of ideology in view of the cultural crisis in Europe shortly before and during the First World War, with the phenomenological critique of mind, by seeking the spirit of nations, especially Slavs or Czechs, beyond contemporary national discourses. Pannwitz tried to emerge from the “sterile” opposition Czechs vs. Germans, and followed a vision of the Czechs’ importance in European culture as a cultural synthesis; he believed in “a deep connection between German and Czech destiny” (PANNWITZ 1917: 36). Pannwitz’s works – especially Die Krisis der europaeischen Kultur (1917) and Der Geist der Tschechen (1919) – and their interpretation are contextualised in this essay from a germano-bohemian and cultural studies perspective.
