Abstract
This article deals with the contradictions imposed on Landgräfin Karoline of Hessen-Darmstadt, as the "Great Landgräfin" was torn between two completely different aims: to save her dynasty by means of her marriage politics; or to proceed in self-enlightenment by writing and reading, especially the philosophers of her time.
