Coping with Life during the Thirty Years’ War focuses on individuals. In many ways, Sigrun Haude has composed a psychohistory of the wartime experience, with an emphasis on how people felt during this conflict. The Cincinnati historian does not attempt a comprehensive reinterpretation of the Thirty Years’ War and becomes somewhat less sure-footed when she moves beyond her core topic. Her terse summary of the war on pages eight to sixteen leaves no room for discussing alternative understandings. Some of the self-made maps, such as the map of the Holy Roman Empire around 1618 on page eleven that, inter alia, seems to include southern Schleswig in that polity and divide Pomerania in an anachronistic manner, can be slightly misleading. A number of lesser oversights or imprecisions—such as making 1527 the norm year of the Peace of Prague (15) or describing the Habsburgs as a royal dynasty that ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1440 to the late eighteenth century (237)—could have been caught by more careful external proofreading. Yet, drawing on an abundance of sources, Haude has provided a well-researched study of the human experience of the Thirty Years’ War. She describes this experience in great detail, which at times gives the narration the flavor of a chronicle. In this way, her study reminds of Hans Medick’s 2018 volume Der Dreißigjährige Krieg: Zeugnisse vom Leben mit Gewalt, which also focuses on individual experiences and utilizes some of the same sources. Haude does not go quite as far as Medick, who integrates these materials directly into his narrative, but Coping with Life during the Thirty Years’ War impresses above all with meticulous source presentation. Thus, the study might inspire and provide material for additional interpretive studies.

These weaknesses limit the book’s utility for historians and cultural scholars of the period who are not expressly interested in one, some, or all of the philosophers that Chamberlain examines. The approach and tone of the book are uneven when read from an academic perspective. Frequently, Chamberlain inserts herself into the narrative with critiques of the quality of a philosopher’s prose or similar asides. In fact, this approach reinforces the general sense that Street Life and Morals is a piece of commentary rather than analysis. Even more jarring are the places in which Chamberlain admits to not understanding concepts or ideas presented by her sources. For example, in reference to Arendt’s widely contemplated post-war relationships with card-carrying Nazis Heidegger and Benno von Wiese, Chamberlain writes, “If I understand her rightly, this is why she could talk of forgiving the person but not the deed” (167). Of course, the minds of philosophers can be challenging, but here the intrusion of the author is disruptive to the overall effectiveness of the text. Similarly, at times the prose strays into concatenated, discursive, and/or derivative language that abounds with jargon and obstructs understanding for the non-specialist reader. Street Life and Morals: German Philosophy in Hitler’s Lifetime adds to scholarship that discusses the crisis of modernity and one of its catastrophic outcomes in World War II. As such, it offers valuable content and material for an advanced, general audience interested in or seeking a general overview of German philosophy during the first half of the twentieth century. Unfortunately, it does not live up to the promise of its title and leaves its subject matter analytically isolated and disconnected from the wider scholarship on the intellectual and cultural history of the period. This means that the book ultimately fails to go beyond its own boundaries and make a case for its relevance to scholars outside the history of ideas.
