Jugend Ohne Sinn?: Eine Spurensuche Zu Sinnfragen Der Jungen Generation 1945-1949 [German]

By Wolfgang Braungart

One would think that for 'the youth' there was a great need for meaning and comfort, for religion and "religioids" (Simmel), especially in the early post-war years. But was this really the case? The young generation in particular had to deal with an unprecedented "transcendental homelessness" (G. Lukacs). If it really did so How did it deal with the question of guilt? Did it fall back on what had long been "tried and tested" in literature, philosophy, theology? Could the communal processes of the historical youth movement with its semantics still offer a space for socializing for the need for ideological affiliation? Did youth take on the character of a special milieu in order to distance itself from those who were responsible for the catastrophe? This volume deals with these and other questions.
