Writings
Weber is best known for his writings, in which he displays a fresh, original spirit, fine powers of observation, and a talent for witty satire. He was largely influenced by the humanistic teachings of the French literature and philosophy, but his reading was wider than France and his sympathies were cosmopolitan. The most celebrated of his works is Demokritos, oder hinterlassene Papiere eines lachenden Philosophen (Demokritos, or the literary remains of a laughing philosopher, 1832–40). He also wrote Möncherei (Monks, 1818–20), more clever than reliable; Das Ritterwesen (Knights, 1822–24); and Deutschland, oder Briefe eines in Deutschland reisenden Deutschen (Germany, or letters from a German traveling in Germany, 1826–28). His collected works were published at Stuttgart in 1834-45.
