Description
The talk will examine the way Leibniz envisions a Europe wide collaboration in rounding up resistance against what he considers a genuine political threat. The talk will examine not just Leibniz but also a wider range of European intellectuals and how they theorize China in the context of an emerging European identity.
Daniel Purdy is Professor of German at Penn State University, College Park and the author of The Tyranny of Elegance: Consumer Cosmopolitanism in the Era of Goethe and On the Ruins of Babel: Architectural Metaphor in German Thought.
