Review :
The 18th century debate about the vocation of human being gave shape and direction to later philosophy. Yet the debate, especially its early phases, remain curiously under-researched. With its translation of original sources and ten newly commissioned essays by leading scholars in the field, this volume represents a valuable addition to our understanding of the Enlightenment, Idealism, and beyond. This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the perennial questions of what we are and who we ought to become. The lucid translations and erudite discussions of texts on the human vocation are a major contribution to studies in classical German philosophy. This volume does an excellent job of capturing the German Enlightenment's fascination with life's meaning, understood in terms of the human vocation. With translations of source materials and a collection of related essays, this book will interest anyone who has ever wondered about the human being's place in the world.
