Von Emerson zu Thomas Mann: Beiträge zur Geschichte unitarischen Denkens in Amerika und Deutschland
This volume presents contributions from the 2012 Göttingen Symposium, exploring the history of Unitarian thought in America and Germany. It investigates the intellectual connections between figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. A significant portion of the work is dedicated to Thomas Mann's relationship with the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles and his 'American religion'. Additionally, the book covers the historical development of Unitarian communities in Germany, specifically in Berlin and the post-1945 era.
