About this book

This volume explores the role of polemical techniques during the Enlightenment epoch by considering the example of philosopher and literary critic Thomas Abbt and the Berliner Wochenschrift’s Letters Concerning the Latest Literature. Applying an innovative theory that enquires into basic polemical features and forms of expression, this study examines a rational polemic that was of key importance during the formation of the modern public sphere.
