520 8  There has been considerable interest in recent years in 
       German social thinkers of the Weimar era. Generally, this 
       has focused on reactionary and nationalist figures such as
       Schmitt and Heidegger. In this book, Austin Harrington 
       offers a broader account of the German intellectual legacy
       of the period. He explores the ideas of a circle of left-
       liberal cosmopolitan thinkers (Troeltsch, Scheler, Tonnies,
       Max Weber, Alfred Weber, Mannheim, Jaspers, Curtius, and 
       Simmel) who responded to Germany's crisis by rejecting the
       popular appeal of nationalism. Instead, they promoted pan-
       European reconciliation based on notions of a shared 
       European heritage between East and West. Harrington 
       examines their concepts of nationhood, religion, and 
       'civilization' in the context of their time and in their 
       bearing on subsequent debates about European identity and 
       the place of the modern West in global social change. The 
       result is a groundbreaking contribution to current 
       questions in social, cultural and historical theory
