    India and the Identity of Europe: The Case of Friedrich Schlegel
    in Journal of the History of Ideas , Volume 67, Number 4, October ,  2006 ,  713-734
    This paper examines Friedrich Schlegel's conception of an Oriental Renaissance through the study of ancient India. In his book Über die Sprache und Weisheit der Indier Schlegel compared his project of Sanskrit studies to the Humanistic Renaissance, but in practice hoped the study of India would reverse the modernizing effects of the original Renaissance. His study of India was aimed at a redefinition of European and German cultural and national identities rather than broadening the horizons of Europe to a global perspective.
