Summary	"The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Volume 05" by Francke is a collection of significant works from German literature, translated into English and published in the early 20th century. This volume highlights the contributions of prominent German philosophers and literary figures from the Romantic period, exploring themes related to human existence, spirituality, and the social elements of religion, particularly through the writings of thinkers such as Fichte, Schelling, and Schleiermacher. The opening of this volume introduces the context of the Romantic philosophers and their dissent from Enlightenment thought, emphasizing the quest for meaning beyond mere rationality. It discusses the influence of key figures like Kant, who sought to balance reason with faith, leading to a rich philosophical discourse that explored the relationship between the self and the universe. The text presents a nuanced critique of rationalism and offers insights into how these philosophers sought to understand existence, morality, and the social fabric of religion, setting the stage for the discussions that follow in the book.
