the iNdo-germaN ideNtiFicatioNReconciling South Asian Origins and European Destinies, 1765–1885ROBERT COWAN

Nineteenth century German intellectuals such as Novalis, Schelling, and Friedrich Schlegel attempted to reconcile what they saw as Germany’s cultural origins in ancient India with their imagined destiny as

saviors of Europe, then shifted to Indophobia when the attempt foundered. The views of Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche on India were disastrously misappropriated in the twentieth century. This book argues that the study of an “Indo-German” ideal continues to offer lessons about cultural difference in the “post-national” twenty first century.Robert Cowan’s book takes the scholarly discourse on German Orientalism in an important new direction with his thoroughly researched and well argued reminder that the subjects of our work were real human beings, real individuals, who brought their personal psychological, philosophical, religious, and political baggage to the reading table.
