The book explores the untold story of philosophical reviews in German territories (1668-1799), tracing their rise from simple communication tools to platforms shaping philosophical discourse. This work examines the dynamics of knowledge management, authority, and cross-border intellectual transfers, revealing how reviews not only reflected but actively forged early modern philosophical trends. Rich in interdisciplinary insights, it redefines the history of philosophy and the Republic of Letters, offering a vibrant, polycentric vision of knowledge in motion. A must-read for anyone intrigued by the evolution of ideas and intellectual history.
