Germans, Jews, and the Claims of Modernity,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this original analysis of the debates in Germany over Jews, Judaism, and Jewish emancipation in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Jonathan M. Hess reconstructs a crucial chapter in the history of secular antiSemitism. He examines not only the thinking of German intellectuals of the time but also that of Jewish writers, revealing the connections between antiSemitism and visions of modernity, and the Jewish responses to the threat posed by these connections. By tracking the evolution of the widespread debate between Germans and Jews, Hess uncovers the process by which Judaism came to play a central role in defining secular universalism and political modernization.For many German intellectuals concerned with imagining a new political order in the era of the French Revolution, Judaism was often perceived as the symbolic antithesis of secular modernity, the book shows. The response of leading Jewish thinkers was to offer their own reflections on modernity and universalism, grounded in Judaism's normative tradition. Hess considers the work of major figures of the period, such as Moses Mendelssohn, Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Friedrich Schleiermacher, as well as lesserknown writers, whose debates about the shape of the modern world provide us with fresh insights into Jewish emancipation, German colonial discourse, and the intersections between religious and political reform.
