In its series of publications on Classicism and Modernism the Foundation of Weimar Classics presents the fruits of its transdisciplinary academic research into European cultural history since 1750. The starting point is provided by the Age of Goethe and Schiller, which is perceived as the source of inspiration for aesthetic modernism, which has repeatedly experienced new impulses in Weimar from Nietzsche to the Bauhaus. The theme is modernism, which constantly questions and reshapes itself and continues to have an impact on contemporary debates.
