Abstract

This article aims to present a case study of Dieter Henrich's "Konstellationsforschung". In particular, it identifies a new, hitherto neglected "constellation" of the late German Enlightenment, namely the so-called "Berliner Mittwochsgesellschaft". The discussion on the notion of “Aufklärung”, which takes place in the first two years of the society’s activity (1783-1785), in fact enables a fruitful application and development of Henrich’s methodology, and demonstrates its usefulness and proximity to the history of terminology and “Begriffsgeschichte” as well.
