Bart Philipsen is Full Professor of German literature and theater studies at the University of Leuven, Belgium. His research is situated at the crossroads of literature, politics and philosophy, and is especially focused on the afterlife of idealism and Romanticism. He has published extensively on German literature, politics and theater.
