In \u003ci\u003eRetrospective Prophets\u003c\/i\u003e, Franz-Josef Deiters explores narratives of German identity during the era of the world wars through four distinct religious and cultural perspectives: Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s cultural Catholicism, Helmuth Plessner’s cultural Calvinism, Thomas Mann’s cultural Lutheranism, and Hermann Cohen’s cultural Judaism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough his examination of  these thinkers’ interpretations of Germany and its historical trajectory, Deiters reveals the central role of religious traditions in conceptions of German exceptionalism.
