POETIKA I FILOZOFIJA PROSVETITELJSTVA U ROMANU „ABDERIĆANI“ KRISTOFA MARTINA VILANDA

Abstract

This academic paper examines the main ideas and philosophical concepts of the German Enlightenment in Christoph Martin Wieland’s novel History of the Abderites from the perspective of a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach. It becomes evident that the Abderites, at all times and in all countries and societies, always arrive at the same conclusions, which are based on predetermined a priori assumptions. These insights lead to the conclusion that the Enlightenment should serve to break down these predetermined and fossilized ideas.
