Thomas Wagner's book tells the story of postwar German sociology through the lives of individuals who shaped the intellectual landscape of Europe in the second half of the 20th century. At the center of this narrative is the debate between Theodor Adorno and Arnold Gehlen, in which differing notions of man, society, and freedom clash after the catastrophe of National Socialism. Gradually, a broad panorama of German intellectual life emerges around this debate: the return of philosophers from exile, university reforms, radio debates, newspaper controversies, the student movement, and the emergence of sociology as the leading humanities discipline in the Federal Republic. By connecting the history of ideas with the political and cultural history of Germany, Wagner shows how philosophical concepts become part of public life and continue to define the language of contemporary debate.
