There are creeping deliberations about capabilities and the future of an enlightened society around the fundamental issue of Germany's social and political history and around the central idea that there is a feminine and masculine element in every person – even though mostly still unshriven –: One can ascertain a culture by looking at whether the principle of violence or the principle of seduction prevails. We are still living in a paternalistic male-dominated society, in which seduction is considered as something not being the matter of men. It is alarming how many of the by Nicolaus Sombart meticulously portrayed chances of human dignity were missed, and how compulsively and inevitably the repetition of this failure proceeds – but it is delightful what he establishes as possible. And it is ravishing how young and topical the collection of the 80 years old author is: The art of seduction is first and foremost a secret of women. In it lies their power and superiority – and their great chance. – The editor Frithjof Hager teaches cultural sociology and historical anthropology at the FU Berlin.
