Between February 1919 and November 1922, in a total of 56 Spectator Letters and Berlin Letters, Ernst Troeltsch commented on his times. He critically observed revolution, civil war, and a new state order under the conditions of world politics and the Versailles peace treaty. He looked at all problems in terms of a “world horizon.” Troeltsch sought to provide the middle class with insights that would breathe life into the new democratic republic.
