The theologian Adolf von Harnack (1851-1930) and the philologist Werner Jaeger (1888-1961) bear witness to the rich, boundary-defying diversity of academic - and bourgeois - culture during the Weimar Republic. Separated in age by nearly half a century but united by common concern for pressing theological and societal problems and professional ties to the University of Berlin, Harnack and Jaeger both acted as representatives of theology and classical studies who sought to reassert the broad educational and political significance of their disciplines amid the cultural crisis occasioned by World War I and by the subsequent collapse of the Kaiserreich. Both moderates, Harnack and Jaeger set themselves the tasks of combatting political extremity and, most importantly, preparing their compatriots for proper self-government by deploying their unique brands of religious, philhellenic humanism.

Powers, Robert L.: - Responding to the cultural crises occasioned by World War I, the German intellectuals Adolf von Harnack and Werner Jaeger acted as leading representatives of the humanities and sought to assert the enduring significance of ancient wisdom and humanistic scholarship for the budding Weimar Republic.
