SynopsisDefines how Jewish intellectuals of the Enlightenment influenced later European revolutionary movements In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries a small but conspicuous fringe of the Jewish population became the world?s most resolute, intellectually driven, and philosophical revolutionaries, among them the pre-Marxist Karl Marx. Yet the roots of their alienation from existing society and determination to change it extend back to the very heart of the Enlightenment, when Spinoza and other philosophers living in a rigid, hierarchical society colored by a deeply hostile theology first developed a modern revolutionary consciousness. Leading intellectual historian Jonathan Israel shows how the radical ideas in the early Marx?s writings were influenced by this legacy, which, he argues, must be understood as part of the Radical Enlightenment. He traces the rise of a Jewish revolutionary tendency demanding social equality and universal human rights throughout the Western world. Israel considers how these writers understood Jewish marginalization and ghettoization and the edifice of superstition, prejudice, and ignorance that sustained them. He investigates how the quest for Jewish emancipation led these thinkers to formulate sweeping theories of social and legal reform that paved the way for revolutionary actions that helped change the world from 1789 onward?but hardly as they intended., Defines how Jewish intellectuals of the Enlightenment influenced later European revolutionary movements In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries a small but conspicuous fringe of the Jewish population became the world's most resolute, intellectually driven, and philosophical revolutionaries, among them the pre-Marxist Karl Marx.

Well documented
Jonathan Israel has done an excellent work presenting historical information from Spinoza to Marx. It is a scholarly work, you might need some previous information on the topic, but that won’t decrease its value. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a material with fresh thoughts and ideas on this topic.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
