Description: Cicero’s reception in the German Enlightenment, which, in comparison to the Anglosphere, has received little scholarly attention. We use two critical figures of the German Enlightenment, Johann Joachim Spalding and Christian Garve, as case studies that illustrate Cicero’s immense and underappreciated influence on the history of ideas about the human vocation (Bestimmung des Menschen)—a legacy that extends even to the towering figure of the German Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant [Hahmann & Vazquez 2025, 9].
