ABSTRACT The essay discusses the divide between political/sociological approaches to Werther and psychological ones, and proposes a synthesis based on the modern classification of mental disorders and the eighteenth-century social matrix. Courts exercised a magnetic attraction, but in Goethe’s case also aroused persistent impulses to social flight, and the episode in which Werther is excluded from a gathering of aristocrats is examined from this perspective. The tension between Empfindsamkeit and courtly manners and the question of the ethical status of these manners are taken to be neglected aspects of the text.

摘要本文讨论了Werther的政治/社会学方法与心理学方法之间的区别，并提出了一种基于现代精神障碍分类法和18世纪社会矩阵的综合方法。法院具有吸引人的吸引力，但在歌德案中，也引起了对社会外逃的持续冲动，从这一角度考察了维特被排除在贵族聚会之外的事件。敏感性和礼节性之间的紧张关系以及这些礼节的伦理地位问题被视为案文中被忽略的方面。
