| Summary | "An Deutschlands Jugend" by Walther Rathenau is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. It addresses the moral and existential challenges facing the German youth of the time, emphasizing the importance of inner renewal and collective responsibility for shaping the future. Rathenau speaks directly to the younger generation, urging them to engage in a deep introspection and to confront the moral crises instigated by war and societal decay. The opening of the work establishes a solemn tone, where Rathenau implores the youth to recognize the weight of their historical moment. He reflects on the profound changes brought by war and the inherent responsibilities that come with being part of a generation marking a critical juncture in history. He emphasizes the need for a new spirit that transcends mere mechanization and shallow ambitions, advocating for a rebirth grounded in values of justice and community. Rathenau expresses a poignant concern for the youth’s ability to rise above the legacies of their predecessors, all while grappling with the dualities of belief and skepticism, which he sees as essential to forging a meaningful future.
