This dissertation seeks to trace the origins of a cluster of ideas which I characterize as "modern global consciousness": that human beings inhabit a unitary and finite global. space, move along the same temporal scale of world-historical time and constitute one single collective entity. It is my argument that these ideas emerged in the late eighteenth century, and crystallized around such fundamental concepts as world history, mankind, civilization as well as a distinct notion of global space. Based on sustained archival work, this dissertation analyzes three principal ways in which the key concepts of modern global consciousness came to be articulated: anthropological history of mankind, socio-theoretical history of mankind, and narrative historiography which went hand in hand with the rise of the modern novel. Methodologically, it is inspired by Koselleck's and Luhmann's historical semantics, and correlates conceptual formations, discursive strategies and narrative conventions with societal structure. Modern global consciousness is seen as the reflection of the rapidly modernizing European society on its position in an increasingly integrated world society. The aim of the dissertation is to assess global consciousness as an important aspect of modern European thinking, and to demonstrate how it registers, reflects on and precipitates the emergence of a world society characterized as much by the societal structure of modern Europe as by colonialism. The source material is mainly drawn from the German Enlightenment. French and British texts are referred to insofar as they have direct bearing on the German context.

520 $a This dissertation consists of one introduction and four main chapters. The first chapter sets out the formal as well as the semantic structure of modern global consciousness. The remaining chapters examine, respectively, anthropology, aesthetics as social theory of art/literature, and the narrative conventions associated with the literary genre of the novel. These discursive formations belong to the key semantic markers of the transition to modern society in Europe. At the same, time, they also serve as the basis for a global consciousness which positions the modernizing European society within the global context. The rise of modern Europe is inextricably intertwined with its self-positioning over against global society as a whole.
