About this book

Ausgezeichnet mit dem Nachwuchsförderpreis 2010 der Sächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig

The philosophy of Christian Wolff is regarded to represent one of the most important schools of thought of the 18th century Enlightenment. The influence of this philosophy was based on a network of followers and disciples who propagated Wolff’s work in the scholarly community and defended it against critics. This book, for the first time, explores the role of Ernst Christoph von Manteuffel. As imperial count, minister in the Cabinet of Poland Saxony and an agent of the Court of Vienna, he was the decisive figure who initiated this network and led it for more than one and a half decades until his death in 1749.

Reviews

"Cette brève présentation permet de juger de la richesse et des enjeux de l’ouvrage de Johannes Bronisch. On ajoutera que, loin de clore le débat, il fournit des éléments qui attendent des prolongements et qui permettront d’étudier désormais aussi la »suite« de ces mouvements, en particulier ce que conservent après 1750 véritablement du wolffisme les professeurs des universités allemandes qui en sont pour beaucoup d’entre eux issus."
Gérard Laudin in: www.perspectivia.net

"Die in sich geschlossene und gut fundierte Studie wird dem Anspruch gerecht, das Wirken von Ernst Christoph von Manteuffel für den Wolffianismus durch die Untersuchung seiner Netzwerkarbeit darzustellen."
Dirk Fleischer in: Das Historisch-Politische Buch 6/2011
