Welcome to KFG Fellow Stefan-Ludwig Hoffmann
01.01.2025
We are glad to welcome our Senior Fellow Stefan-Ludwig Hoffmann at the KFG.
Stefan-Ludwig Hoffmann is Professor of Late Modern European History at the University of California, Berkeley. His most recent book, Der Riss in der Zeit. Kosellecks ungeschriebene Historik (Suhrkamp, 2023, English translation forthcoming with Princeton UP) is an intellectual biography of Reinhart Koselleck and an exploration of the German historian's premise that twentieth-century catastrophic experiences of time require a new theory of history. His previous two books traced the afterlives of Enlightenment concepts and social practices (sociability, civil society, cosmopolitanism) in the long nineteenth century and their late twentieth-century resurgence. Currently, he is writing a new history of human rights. Together with Samuel Moyn, he is the editor of the Cambridge book series Human Rights in History.
