What is "society?" Christof Dipper describes and analyses the discovery of what we understand as "society". In the 80 years between 1770 and 1850, German society crossed a threshold and changed drastically. This transitional phase has often been described as the "Sattelzeit" (Reinhart Koselleck). However, Christof Dipper's study takes a special approach: What did contemporaries know about it, i.e. what were they able to read about the social transition and how did their feeling of being part of a "society" come about?
Dipper describes how knowledge about social processes developed at the time. Contemporary perceptions between 1770 and 1848 are documented in the second part of the book. The book concludes with an attempt to explain this social threshold and to shed light on the transitional society it characterised from today's perspective. An excellent study - indispensable for understanding the emergence and basis of our modern society.
