This work investigates the segment of German humanist political opinions of Conrad Celtis, his Viennese associates Jakob Ziegler, Johannes Aventin, and Joachim Vadian, and the more familiar figures of Erasmus of Rotterdam and Ulrich von Hutten. What emerges from this study of personal convictions is that these humanists formed an influential party of national restoration. The passion driving their politics was patriotism--an enthusiastic love of the German nation, its culture, its heritage, and its potential.
